Ardbeg Trudernish Aged 15 Years Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Ardbeg Trudernish Aged 15 Years Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a sophisticated expression from the legendary Islay distillery, presenting Ardbeg’s signature peat smoke in a softer, creamier, and more mature style. Named after the ancient settlement of Trudernish on Islay’s “Enchanted Cape,” this 15-year-old single malt is the first permanent 15-year-old expression in Ardbeg’s core range.

Matured through a combination of bourbon casks, new charred oak, and Oloroso sherry casks, Trudernish develops an intricate balance of smoky peat, creamy vanilla, citrus, chocolate, roasted nuts, and warming spice. Bottled at 48.8% ABV and without chill filtration, it offers a rich, silky texture while retaining the unmistakable smoky character that defines Ardbeg.
