Ardbeg Trudernish
15 Year Old
Ardbeg’s whisky makers matured their smoky, balanced spirit in bourbon, new charred oak and Oloroso sherry casks over 15 years, for mellow creaminess and softer smoke. A trace of earthy peat flits from the glass, as aromas of woodsmoke drift across dried herbs and chocolate lime. Tastes of vanilla and nuts are folded into decadent notes of creamy fudge sauce. The whisky’s harmony of flavours is enhanced by its ABV of 48.8%.
Tasting Notes
Nose:
Earthy peat and woodsmoke, with aromas of dried herbs and chocolate lime, alongside melted vanilla ice cream.
Palate:
Peat, dark liquorice and nuts wrapped in milk chocolate, with decadent creamy fudge and vanilla notes.
Finish:
Long, smoky and warming, with a silky thread of vanilla running throughout.
Islay legends and a new path
“A new whisky is always a momentous occasion at Ardbeg – and our first permanent 15-year-old, Ardbeg Trudernish, is truly one to celebrate. Aged in a combination of bourbon, new charred oak and oloroso sherry casks, our spirit’s signature smokiness is brilliantly mellowed by rich, creamy flavours, softened with age”.
- Ardbeg’s director of whisky creation Dr Bill Lumsden MBE.
Ardbeg has added its first permanent 15-year-old whisky to the core range. That sentence alone will be enough for some of you, but there's more to Trudernish than a handsome age statement. Matured in bourbon, new charred oak and oloroso sherry casks, it finds a creamier, more measured expression of the distillery’s famous Islay smoke.
The whisky takes its name from an ancient settlement near Ardbeg, where local legend tells of a hidden well whose waters never freeze. Trudernish can be found in the south-east of Islay, up the coast from the Ardbeg Distillery. It's known as part of Islay’s so-called Enchanted Cape – an area rich in myth and legend.
Ardbeg Trudernish also introduces new packaging elements that will eventually appear across Ardbeg’s core range, with earthy accent colours and clearer details about each whisky’s casks and flavour.
