Ardbeg Trudernish joins the core range! The 15-year-old single malt Scotch whisky is a marriage of liquid aged in bourbon, new charred oak, and oloroso sherry casks, bottled at 48.8% rather than the typical 46% ABV.

It's pronounced as it is written – ‘Tru-dern-ish’ – and is named for the settlement of Trudernish, part of Islay’s ‘Enchanted Cape’. The Trudernish well is notoriously hard to find, in a thick copse* of wood. Ardbeg says, "Like a quest to the Enchanted Cape in search of the Trudernish well, this whisky takes you on a mysterious journey into hidden depths of smoky, creamy flavour". Groovy.

*A ‘copse of wood’ (or simply a copse) refers to a small group or thicket of trees.

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.
