Ardbeg Trudernish 15 Year

Like a quest to find the Trudernish well (an ancient Islay settlement), Ardbeg Trudernish 15 Year takes you on a mysterious journey into the hidden depths of smoky, creamy flavour.

John Macdougall founded Ardbeg Distillery in 1815. In 1838, Thomas Buchanan, a Glasgow spirit merchant, bought the Distillery for £1,800. John Macdougall’s son Alexander continued operations.

After Alexander's death, Ardbeg is co-run by Colin Hay and Macdougall’s sisters, Margaret and Flora, who may rightfully be Scotland’s first female distillers. 

Producer's Tasting Notes

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.

Palate: 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 nuts wrapped in 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 leading into a long, smoky finish.
