The Ardbeg Drum Limited Edition is a distinctive single malt whisky, released by the renowned Ardbeg Distillery to celebrate Ardbeg Day during the Feis Ile 2019 festival. This 700ml bottle is matured initially in ex-bourbon casks before being finished in ex-rum casks from the Americas, imparting a uniquely funky and flamboyant character. On the nose, expect a bouquet of ripe banana, pineapple, cocoa, and woodsmoke, complemented by hints of fresh ginger, cinnamon, and lavender. The palate reveals layers of black pepper, ginger, clove, liquorice, dark chocolate, rich smoke, and vanilla, delivering a complex and immersive tasting experience.
