Ardbeg Trudernish 15 Year Old is a permanent addition to Ardbeg’s core range and the first core expression from the Islay distillery to carry a 15-year age statement. Bottled at 48.8% ABV and non chill-filtered, it takes its name from Trudernish, a historic settlement on Islay’s south coast.
Matured in a combination of bourbon casks, new charred oak and Oloroso sherry casks, Trudernish presents a softer and creamier interpretation of Ardbeg’s famously heavily peated style. Bourbon casks bring vanilla and fresh fruit, new charred oak contributes toasted spice and richness, while Oloroso sherry adds deeper fruit and nutty character. Ardbeg’s distinctive peat smoke remains at the heart of the whisky, balanced by layers of vanilla, orchard fruit, dark chocolate, liquorice and toasted oak.
Sitting alongside established expressions including Ardbeg Ten, Uigeadail and Corryvreckan, Trudernish offers a more mature perspective on the distillery’s signature Islay character and marks an important addition to the permanent Ardbeg range.
