The Ardbeg Drum Committee Release is an exceptional addition to the distillery's portfolio, marking the Ardbeg Day 2019. This unique expression stands out for being the first whisky by Ardbeg to have a finishing period in rum casks, following its initial maturation in ex-bourbon casks. This intriguing combination harmoniously marries the classic savoury smoke of Ardbeg’s spirit with the bright, fruity notes introduced by the rum casks from the Americas.
Exclusively available to members of the Ardbeg Committee, the Ardbeg Drum Committee Release adds a sense of exclusivity to the brand's offerings. The Committee Releases, released annually, are generally bottled at cask strength, ensuring a robust flavor profile that brings out the best of the spirit's character. The Ardbeg Drum Committee Release, specifically, was bottled at 52% ABV.
This Committee Release was created in celebration of the Islay Festival of Music & Malt (Fèis Ìle), honoring the rich cultural heritage associated with Ardbeg. The distillery further aligns this expression with the festival's vibrant and festive spirit by evoking a Caribbean carnival theme, marking a significant innovation in Ardbeg's traditional whisky making process. This expression is therefore an exciting amalgamation of the traditional peaty spirit of Ardbeg, complemented with the tropical flair of the Americas.
