Producer’s tasting notes
Colour: Dark Gold
Nose: In Drum, fragrant pine resin and woodsmoke dance alongside ripe banana and pineapple in a downright wondrous paradiddle of aromas, before parading into smoked apples and dry cocoa powder. Distant ginger, spiced dates and cinnamon sway into floating notes of lavender.
Palate: On the palate, waves of smoke, tar and creosote cascade into a dry peppery mouthfeel. Clove, liquorice and ginger strut towards rich notes of dark chocolate and smoked vanilla.
Finish: Intense smoke, roasted coffee liqueur and a treasure trove of sweet spices come together in one deliciously complex crescendo.

Bottling Notes
Ardbeg is giving its annual Ardbeg Day celebrations a Caribbean twist with the release of its first rum-finished whisky. Take Ardbeg scotch whisky from ex-Bourbon casks, rest it a while in ex-rum casks from the Americas, and you have…. Ardbeg Drum. A flamboyant jamboree of flavours guaranteed to have Bob Marley singing from the heavens above.
Ardbeg distillery manager Mickey Heads comments….
“We’re delighted to introduce Ardbeg Drum – a celebration of all of the mixed up, mashed up influences that make Ardbeg, Ardbeg. In Ardbeg Drum, a multitude of complex flavours parade across the palate – fragrant pine resin and woodsmoke dance alongside ripe banana and pineapple. Then lavender, liquorice and vanilla strut into a long, smoky finish.”
