Ardbeg Drum Feis Ile (2019) 70cl

An old bottle of Ardbeg Drum, which was a limited edition bottling released on Ardbeg Day at the 2019 Feis Ile, as has now become traditional.

Ardbeg Drum is an assemblage of ex-bourbon casks of Ardbeg of an unspecified age which were then reracked into rum casks which have added some nice pineapple and cooked banana notes to Ardbeg's traditional tarry citrus character.

This Limited Edition Single Malt Whisky from Ardbeg Distillery takes whisky from ex-Bourbon casks, that have been rested a while in ex-rum casks from the Americas. A flamboyant jamboree of flavours with fragrant pine resin, woodsmoke and seas pray dancing alongside ripe banana and pineapple. Lavender, liquorice and vanilla sway into rich dark chocolate before parading to the beat of a long and smoky finish.

Ardbeg Drum takes the classic, peaty Islay single malt, matured in bourbon casks, and finishes it in ex-rum casks to add bittersweet molasses, banana and chocolate complexity.
