Last year’s Ardbeg Day release was Ardbeg Grooves. The Committee Release was so popular that unexpectedly high demand caused Ardbeg’s website to crash. The general retail release also sold out apace. (At the time of writing, it’s on the secondary market at around AU $200).

Here we go again... This year, we have just a few bottles of the latest and greatest Ardbeg Day bottling, "Ardebg Drum" (ex-Bourbon and Rum casks). This natural strength ‘Committee Release’ was only available from the website via a secret link that sold out in 24 hours. These bottlings have proved very collectable with previous editions showing good investment upside.

Notes from Ardbeg... 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. 52% Alc./Vol.
