Ardbeg Drum

Very mellow and a light light smoke

A bold choice makes a weird combination. Instead of meaty smoke making way for rich red fruit, Drum reveals secondhand smoke and a strange array of tropical fruits. Nose: An old smokers hotel room, lemon peel, banana Palate: Coconut, Papaya, Harsh smoke Finish: Short and forgettable. Mostly lemon zest Overall E for effort, but leave the rum casks for Balvenie

Delicious. Great smokey notes and peaty finish

Ardbeg continues to impress with this release. Huge impact of the rum casks comes out in both the nose and taste. Nose: Rich full bodied peat and smoke. Very rounded and robust. The iodine and rubber smell I usually get off Ardbeg is completely gone. Instead it is replaced by fruits and spices. Overripe banana, sweet apples, nutmeg, cinnamon, slight raisin and nuttiness. Taste: Spicy peat and smoke fades quickly into an extremely creamy fruitiness. I was immediately reminded of a more smokey Compass Box Great King Street Glasgow Blend. Cinnamon and nutmeg fade into a thick banana and apple flavor. The finish is pleasantly salty with citrusy flavors like lemon, ginger, and turmeric. Oily whiskey, flavors last a long time after.
