The Ardbeg distillery on Islay is adding a new single malt to its permanent portfolio: Trudernish, a 15-year-old expression named after an old settlement on the island’s coast.

The whisky matured in a combination of ex-bourbon casks, ex-oloroso sherry casks and new charred oak, and is bottled at 48.8% ABV. UK reference pricing is around GBP 80 for a 70 cl bottle. The release is set for 15 September, with worldwide online distribution and availability through British specialist retailers.

Alongside Trudernish, the Moët Hennessy-owned brand is also refreshing the packaging across its entire core range. It signals that Ardbeg is strengthening its permanent line-up, after a period in which public attention focused mainly on the annual limited editions.

Scottish distillery Ardbeg, known for its heavily peated Islay whiskies, has released Dolce, an edition combining bourbon-cask-matured whisky with one finished in marsala dolce casks. The result is an unusual profile for the Ardbeg range: the sweetness of Italian dessert wine intertwines with the distillery’s signature peat.

Whisky Advocate awarded the edition 94 points, one of the best scores of the summer for a Scotch single malt.

The release arrives during a busy season for whisky news: Blade and Bow rolled out a 12-year-old Solera Reserve finished in cognac, Bordeaux, Moscatel and Port casks, while India’s Indri unveiled a Founder’s Reserve aged 11 years in ex-Bordeaux red wine barrels.
