Dark gold.

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

Intense smoke on the finish, more spice with a sweet coffee liqueur finish.
- Note
-
his years Limited Edition bottling, Ardbeg Drum, a scrumptious jamboree of flavours and the perfectly peaty excuse for a party.
Inspired by Islays 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 usArdbeg 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.
