- Description
- Ardbeg Drum, released for Ardbeg Day 2019, married ex-bourbon and ex-rum casks to create a fruit-forward, heavily peated expression. The nose balances ripe banana and pineapple against cocoa and woodsmoke, with developing spice notes of ginger, cinnamon and lavender. The palate follows with black pepper, clove and liquorice alongside dark chocolate and rich smoke, making this a funky, flamboyant dram for those seeking peat with tropical fruit character.
