Ardbeg Drum - Committee Release
Drum is the first whisky released by Ardbeg to have enjoyed a finishing period in rum casks! It was initially matured in ex-bourbon casks before being transferred over to casks that had previously held rum from the Americas. The result pits the classic savoury smoke of Ardbeg's spirit against the bright, fruity notes introduced by the rum casks - a wonderfully tasty juxtaposition! This is the Committee Release of Ardbeg Drum, which has been bottled at 52% ABV.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!

Roasted pine, fresh vanilla pod, meaty malt, fried banana and spicy clove.
Palate
Dried fruit soaked in rum, stem ginger, mint imperial sweeties, fiery peat and a waft of coastal salinity.
Finish
Toasted brown sugar, red chilli chocolate and a juicy hint of papaya.
