Process & Profile
Ardbeg Trudernish 15 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the distillery’s first permanently available 15-year-old expression. Named after the ancient Trudernish settlement near the distillery on Islay, it joins Ardbeg’s core collection with a softer, creamier interpretation of the brand’s signature peat smoke.
Matured for 15 years across bourbon casks, new charred oak, and Oloroso sherry casks, Trudernish balances earthy smoke with vanilla, chocolate, orchard fruit, herbs, and toasted nuts. Bottling at 48.8% ABV preserves its full-bodied texture and layered aromatic character.
Tasting Notes
-
Nose: Earthy peat and gentle woodsmoke surrounded by vanilla cream, fudge, pine resin, heather honey, green apple, pear, cracked pepper, and dried herbs.
-
Palate: Creamy and full-bodied with sweet vanilla, soft pine smoke, dark licorice, chocolate lime, herbal mint, orchard fruit, and toasted nuts coated in milk chocolate.
-
Finish: Long and soothing with glowing peat embers, vanilla pod, toasted nuts, and persistent Islay smoke.

How to Enjoy
Serve Ardbeg Trudernish 15 Year Old neat in a tulip-shaped whisky glass to appreciate its balance of peat, vanilla, chocolate, fruit, and oak. Allow the whisky several minutes to rest after pouring. A few drops of water can reveal additional notes of ripe melon, kiwi, soft berries, and heather while opening its creamy texture. It can also be enjoyed over one large ice cube for a cooler, gradually evolving pour.
