Cask Strength Distillery Bottling

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.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Straw Gold

Nose

A soft wave of earthy peat and gentle woodsmoke is wrapped in rich vanilla cream, evoking the scent of melted vanilla ice cream with fudge sauce. Sweetness blends with floral notes of and subtle hints of pine resin and heather honey. Orchard fruits like green apple and pear add freshness, while a hint of cracked black pepper and dried herbs lend complexity. A splash of water reveals ripe melon, kiwi, and soft berry notes layered over fragrant vanilla and heather sweet peat.

Palate

Creamy and full-bodied, with bold Ardbeg peat merging into a smooth wave of sweet vanilla cream. Classic notes of soft pine, woodsmoke and damp forest floor lead into dark liquorice, chocolate lime, and a touch of herbal mint. More soft orchard fruits and floral sweetness are paired with a nuts wrapped into milk chocolate. The texture silky, with the vanilla running like a thread through each layer.

Finish

Long and soothing, with peat embers, vanilla pod and toasted nuts lead into a long and smoky finish.
