From the Ardbeg Distillery to Port Ellen and beyond, follow the rocky coast and you will discover the heavenly vista of Traigh Bhan (pronounced tri-van), the beautiful beach known locally as the Singing Sands…

For this captivating place has soft white sands that sing beneath your feet, a hum that ebbs and flows with the winds and the tides. But beguiling as this place is, do not drop your guard. Bathing is ill-advised in the seemingly tame crystal waters where jagged, volcanic rocks pierce the sands along the shore.

SWEET BEGINNINGS

Gentle hints of olive oil lap over the senses. Touches of tar and chocolate ginger biscuit merge delicately with a curious aroma of freshly cut grass. A splash of water reveals a sooty surge of more vintage Ardbeg notes in peppermint, tarry rope, peat smoke and fennel.

A CLASSIC CRESCENDO

A slightly oily mouthcoating leads into an intense, minty sweetness. Waves of signature Ardbeg notes in creosote, coal tar soap and bonfire embers follow. Whiffs of smoked pineapple and toasted bread swirl around deep, rich flavours of dark chocolate, peppermint cream and camphor. A long and unhurried finish carries with it notes of coffee grounds and liquorice.

Smoky soot. Dark chocolate. Peppermint.

A curious hint of olive oil greets the senses. Following closely behind are gentle waves of tar, soot, chocolate ginger and freshly cut grass. A splash of water releases a surge of more classic Ardbeg aromas in fennel, peppermint, eucalyptus, and tarry rope.
A slightly oily mouthfeel reveals an intense array of notes that cascade across the palate. An undeniable minty sweetness flows into baked bread, creosote, coal tar soap and smoked pineapple. Deep, rich flavours bubble beneath the surface, with dark chocolate, peppermint creams, camphor and a distinct whiff of bonfire.
A long finish carries rich ripples of coffee and liquorice that slowly ebb away.
