Ardbeg Drum Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky PLUS Ardbeg Grooves (2 x 700ml)

Volume: 2 x 700ml            ABV: 46%       Age: No Age Statement           Country: Scotland

This year’s Limited Edition bottling, Ardbeg Drum, a scrumptious jamboree of flavours and the perfectly peaty excuse for a party.

Inspired by Islay’s rich history of carnivals, this whisky is a bottling imbued with the ultimate influence of carnival spirit, rum. In a first for the Distillery, we have taken Ardbeg single malt from ex-Bourbon casks, rested it awhile in ex-rum casks from the Americas, giving us…Ardbeg Drum.

Discover a mass of complex flavours as they parade across the palate. Fragrant pine resin and woodsmoke dance alongside ripe banana and pineapple, before lavender, liquorice and vanilla strut into a long, smoky finish – a downright wondrous paradiddle of aromas.

Ardbeg Drum – let the rumbustious revelry begin!

Non chill-filtered at 46.0% ABV.

Official Tasting Notes

Nose: Smoked apple and pineapple, ripe banana, fragrant pine resin and subtle woodsmoke. Dry coco powder, cinnamon and ginger spiced dates and ‘floating’ lavender notes.

Palate: Peppery texture, huge smoky palate, oil, tar, creosote, rich dark chocolate. A treasure of spices – clove, liquorice and ginger mingles with smoked vanilla.

Finish: Intense smoke on the finish, more spice with a sweet coffee liqueur finish.
