The aroma is a sensory journey, where sweet wood smoke harmonizes with hints of tart crème fraîche, creating a captivating introduction. As you breathe deeper, the alluring notes of savory fennel, celeriac, and roasted tea leaves emerge, amplified by a splash of water that releases invigorating sea spray alongside the evocative scents of leather, eucalyptus oil, and pine. This rich bouquet unfolds like the undulating waves of the nearby shore.

On the palate, Ardbeg Traigh Bhan reveals an intensely salty mouthfeel, reminiscent of the ocean's embrace.
