Description

Drum roll, please! It's this year's limited edition Ardbeg release for Ardbeg Day, Ardbeg Drum! Released at Fèis Ìle and around the world, the single malt brings together the best of both Islay and the Caribbean, as it was matured in bourbon casks and then treated to a finish in casks that previously held rum. The final result is a delicious, smoky and fruity party, truly capturing the carnival spirit.

This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!

Nose

Bonfire wood smoke intertwines with earthy pine, as sweeter tropical aromas of ripe banana, banana bread and pineapple come to the fore. Some richer notes of dark chocolate and candied ginger add depth.

Palate

Loads of spices, with pepper, clove, cinnamon and more ginger surrounded by swirls of earthy smoke, with sweeter notes of liquorice, even more dark chocolate and vanilla pod.

Finish

Roasted, slightly burnt coffee beans, and sweet cinnamon and cocoa.

Lovely smoky dram

Love this dram. Full of character and taste

Master of Malt Customer Apr 7, 2021

Nice, but....

Tried a dram last week. Powerful with lots of complexity, but I can't bring myself to splash out that kind of money for a bottle, other than for collector's purposes. It just wasn't a home run. Buy a Uigeadail and console yourself with the money you saved. Cheers from Canada!

Dear Prof.Lunsden, when you do a limited released, make sure it's better than your solid core range esp. Uigeadall & Corryvrek especially when it's priced twice as much. I am disappointed with your Drum.

Very unArdbeg like. When my missus started loving it, I know it's a crowd pleaser. Strange but true.

Just a novelty ... The romance of the Feis Ile.

I don't see what's the fuss all about. Only novelty it's a limited Feis Ile released. Don't get me wrong, I am a big Islay fan and Ardbeg is my religion. This is a far cry from their core range Uige and Corryvrek. Ardbeg is synonymous with power and it's a masculine whisky, not for the faint hearted. This is pretty lame off a decent weak Islay with some fruity notes. Only for collector keeping it as a trophy for bragging right. Every year the Feis Ile offering is on the decline. Hope to see an improvement next year. Save your hard earn dosh.
