Ardbeg Drum — это релиз Ardbeg Day 2019, выдержанный в бурбонных бочках и дозревавший в ромовых бочках. Отзывы расходятся: часть дегустаторов отмечает удачное сочетание дымного характера Ardbeg с тропической сладостью, другие считают виски молодым, простым и разочаровывающим.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах Drum описывается как ограниченный релиз Ardbeg Day 2019, созревавший в бурбонных бочках и финишированный в ромовых. В аромате чаще всего упоминаются дым, торф, тропические фрукты (ананас, банан, манго, цитрус), ваниль, травянистые и смолистые ноты. Во вкусе — сладкий торф, дым, солёность, специи (перец, имбирь, гвоздика, мускат), ваниль, банан, ананас, иногда шоколад и лакрица. Финиш в большинстве описаний средний или короткий, дымный, иногда с сухостью и горечью. Мнения заметно расходятся. Одни называют виски приятным, сбалансированным и удачным примером сочетания духа и бочки, где ромовая сладость дополняет, но не перекрывает характер Ardbeg. Другие считают его молодым, тонким, простым и «скучным», с коротким финишем, слабым влиянием ромовой бочки и завышенной ценой; некоторые прямо называют его разочарованием. Несколько отзывов отмечают, что ромовый финиш проявляется скорее в сладости и тропических фруктах, чем как отчётливый ромовый характер.

This is not a bad whisky at all. It is okay and yes there maybe some fruity notes, that let you think there has been some contact to former rum-cask. A slight and short contact. Short is the keyword for this Ardbeg: Seems to have been generally matured only a short period of time. Too short to be a good Ardbeg. Nose is okay: some typical ardbeg - peat smoke, slightly fruity (citric), but chilling. Taste is first fresh, then a little alcoholic , coming to slight fruity and chocolate notes. But nothing special at all. The Finish is one of the shortest of all Ardbegs I've had so far. Some smokey dryness over and out gone in seconds. Overall this Ardbeg isn't a bad Whisky, it's simply a boring one. Way too boring to be a good Whisky or a good Ardbeg. The only outstanding thing about this whisky is the outrageous price for this average Whisky.

The nose wins even if the Rumfass brings no added value. The palate is determined by bitterness and it lacks aromas and spiciness but where should it come from. One of the worst Ardbegs for me so far - 06.12.2019

yeah, I admit ... I am biased. I do like rum Barrels quite a lot. nosing brings a lot of bananas, sweet Tropical fruit, only slight hints of smoke. on the palate there the fruity sweetness is accompanied with a salty, peaty note. some spices and herbs, just lovely. Only the finish is way too short. Fine expression of Ardbeg, not typical. Tasted and bought at the Ardbeg Day on Götzis, Vorarlberg

Pineapple Because the Grooves was such a pleasant surprise – after a few less exciting Ardbeg releases – I decided to give this new Ardbeg Day 2019 release a try: the Ardbeg Drum. Without further ado… Surprisingly green, herbal nose on young, broken twigs, a full ashtray and lime juice. Then comes some pineapple followed by sweet and sour peat. The floral note first becomes bigger, only to be replaced with more fruit like apricots and green banana. But in all honesty: I am not impressed. The palate is much more interesting. Nicely round and oily, honeysweet on vanilla and crystal sugar, pineapple and peach, lime and ashes. That is joined by feisty pepper, brackish water and nutmeg. Ginger and a hint of cinnamon follow. Nice smoke development, but it is not a peat bomb (nor should it be). It’s nice to find the sweet and salty notes vying for attention of your taste buds. The finish is somewhat short with some sweet vanilla and sea salt. The smoke has long ago left the building. Well, this is a very ordinary Ardbeg in my book. In that case, I’ll have another bottle of the Grooves (or any of the standard range for that matter). Around 135 EUR.

When it comes to Ardbeg my latest purchases have been the TEN in special tins, the Warehouse and the Dog bone. Yea, I'm a sucker for "collectors" packaging, but It's at a good quality/price ratio, have been pretty consistent lately, and I don't mind having a few extra go-to basic bottles. Having tried some of the latest specials at festivals I have found them disappointing and expensive. So don't even ask what made me go for this one. Someone have rated this 100, and another one has taken time to rate all realeases 94. Of course without a word of explanation. I dear to strongly disagree, and at least you can read why.

Нос74Very little Ardbeg on the nose, actually very little Islay. Let's not hold that against it, let's just say it's not what is expected from the distillery. It's gently peated, and there's also some plain smoke. But it's dominated by tropical fruit, most likely from young rum casks. I love the tropical fruit notes that can be found in the likes of Old Pulteney, and it works well with the lightly salty maritime character. However, the fruit in this one mixed with peaty smoke is totally clashing. The box says "ripe banana". Sure, there is banana, but it's not just ripe, the smoke makes it appear rotten. The pineapple is pretty off too.
Вкус68The arrival is initially OK, but that's where it ends. There's a short moment of sweet peatyness. But it turns almost immediately close to tasteless and watery. Then a sudden attack of just weird wood spice. Again refering to the box that says "fragrant pine resin". Have they used pine wood casks? Because that's what it tastes like, sticky astringent pine resin. I have never encountered a whisky so indecisive and unbalanced.
Финиш64There are remote notes of fruit in the finish. Mainly sweet banana. It can be noticed while struggling to get rid of the sticky resin. The warmth of the spice would have been nice if it wasn't so darn dry. The fact that I spent £100 on this bottle will haunt me long after it is empty.
lustaufwhisky Expert Junior 86 27 may 2020 10:11 pm
Nose: At the beginning a bit grassy with a little unripe banana. The peat smoke is there immediately. Now it's the sweet fruits like pineapple and peach that I notice. Citrus fruits, especially lime and some herbs, also come into their own. • • Taste: A strong smoke note paired with exotic fruits takes some getting used to, but it works. I also find brown sugar, vanilla and lime before the cold ash appears again. Finally there is nutmeg and clove with a pinch of salt on top. • • Outlet: Dry and smoky with tar.

the_muskox Expert Senior 85 29 jul 2020 3:32 pm
Tasty! The rum influence is obvious, but not so heavy as to de-Ardbeg the whisky. I really like the tropical and floral notes the rum finish has added. All in all, for me at least, it doesn’t fall too far behind the Committee release. It’s missing some of the complexity and density that comes with the higher proof, but this is a very good whisky in its own right. Nose: Wow, it almost smells like that Ardbeg pina colada I had just had. Lots of pineapple and coconut with very Ardbeg-y green-wood-and-earth peat smoke. Honey, banana, and ham, as well as salt and a bit salty sea breeze. Some perfumed herbs in there too. It’s sweeter than the 10, but not quite as sweet as the An Oa (which I had alongside my first glass of Drum). Palate: Medium-light body. Arrives with a hit of earthy-sour peat smoke, followed immediately by pineapple, honey, and floral sweetness. Some salted crackers, nutmeg, macadamia nuts, and lavender, before a hit of black pepper and more peat smoke. On the back end is rich tobacco leaf and some cured-meat funk. Finish: Smoky-sweet. The tobacco develops into dark chocolate. More sweet pineapple and coconut. It gets a bit sugary here, bringing to mind powdered-sugar-covered donuts. A mulchy earthy note on the back, along with barbeque smoke.

The finish is a bit better than the rest and got this just into the next threshold of scores on my scale. Without that pleasant creaminess it loses a lot of charm.

An exciting unusual Ardbeg - and still a clearly Ardbeg. The rum barrels are discreet enough to please and the Ardbeg smoke is clear enough for the typical distillery character. Currently my very own favorite Ardbeg ;-)
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос92Typical Ardbeg smoke from the beginning. Vanilla cream, ripe pineapple and a scent of banana (almost like HIPP banana puree for babies). Dominant in the nose is the sweetness, the smoke wide, but subordinate, and a touch of salty sea air.
Вкус93Creamy soft on the go, sweetness like honey with a few crumbs of sea salt. Candy, then ash and some pepper. The smoke needs something until it blooms, he brings back to vanilla and again the banana porridge. A Roman note can be guessed in him if, then only very late to the departure. Overall, very mouth-filling.
Финиш91Long, the sweetness and the smoke mix, on the palate. A few bitterness, cold fire. The sweetness becomes more dominant on the palate with each sip, the smoke in the finish.

We are going deep into Whisky Lake 2.0 today, maybe all the way to the bottom in more than one way, so I best put on my atmospheric diving suit. The exact depth is 15 Ardbeg limited releases in one go, with a current 10yo (83 pts.) as the benchmark. Yes, I have written my last will and testament. The lineup from the newest to the oldest bottling is: Smokiverse (81), Spectacular (82), Heavy Vapours (77), Ardcore (76), Scorch (83), Blaaaack (81), Drum (79), Grooves (80), Kelpie (83), Dark Cove (84), Perpetuum (80), Auriverdes (83), Ardbog (87), Galileo (85), Alligator (88). Compared to my previous scores for the bottles I've already tasted, only Auriverdes felt a bit better this time than the first time I tried it many, many years ago. Unsurprisingly, both myself and the tasting panel voted Alligator, Ardbog, and Galileo as the best three. For me the bottom of the barrel was Ardcore with its offensive blandness and youth, but the whole tasting panel voted it the 2nd worst in the lineup, disliking Heavy Vapours even more. Thanks for the tasting, Maija & Pete!

Granular and vegetable peat. Prickly grasses on muddy gravel. Thick, suffocating smoke. Oily and black earth. A light net of citrus stuck in a coal trap. Over the minutes the sweetness of the rum comes to light, but it remains discreet. Then a certain balance is achieved, between the lemon and the peat. On the palate, sweetness quickly overtaken by fairly strong spices, ginger, coriander, white pepper. Citrus zest. Beautiful, very charcoal finish but quite short. Mandarin. To my knowledge, this is the weakest limited edition from the distillery. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2020/12/ardbeg-drum.html

Disappointed is not the right word for me to describe this whisky. I understand what many write. That they miss the kick of Ardbeg. Often they refer to the 10 year old iconic version. To my mind this is comparing apps with pears. Ardbeg is a beast in itself. It stands apart from the big boys but certainly does not have followers from the first hour. Sometimes I wonder if they try too hard to prove themselves. As if every bottling is a child's drawing. Look what I made! You can't get mad at them when you keep up the status they once were. But I fear they are increasingly missing the mark. Which is a shame in my eyes. Yes this whisky is good for me. Don't get me wrong. But the biggest problem I have with it. Is that it seems rushed. Made for the festival. This could have been an exceptional gem if the timing of the cask had been better. The finish is definitely there. Plenty of rum and green bananas in this dram. But the bourbon cask quickly takes over. Which is a shame. I wonder if, for the price they are currently asking, you wouldn't be better off with a bottle of Mescal?

Let’s see. Ardbeg 10 is one of the first dram that got me into whisky so hope this one won’t disappoint! Nose: 88 First is the rhum obviously quickly followed by a nice vanilla custard/ banana smell on a firm see breeze background. Then suddenly the peat shows itself with a strong barbecue note! Everything interplays very nicely. I like it! Taste: 87 Strong tar to start things off but quickly fades. Then again the see breeze background sets in and remains firmly there all along. Nice and gentle spices (4 berries pepper?). And a clear sucrosity all along. No burn/ bitterness/ over woodiness whatsoever. Finish: 85 Pretty short on see breeze and soft spice. Overall feeling and enjoyment is up there! There is the pure Ardbeg spirit and no over woodiness at all which we could have feared. This was from a sample but with the tendency of Ardbeg to evolve very well in the bottle once open I might grab a bottle one of these days!

A rather unique Ardbeg Open Edition, but it doesn't quite ignite. The rum finish is most prominent on the nose, and on the palate it complements the standard Ardbeg sweetness quite well. Nevertheless, most other limited editions are superior; in my opinion, rum finishes and Scotch don't harmonize particularly well.

A light but fruity and punchy Ardbeg, with a satisfying mix of flavours layered over the distillery’s trademark peat. The rum cask complements the spirit well, adding sweetness and tropical character without overwhelming the distillate. It perhaps lacks a little depth and intensity for my palate to score any higher, but it remains an excellent example of spirit and cask working in harmony. A decent Nose, Aromatic with classic Ardbeg peat smoke, Pine resin, Sea spray, Grilled artichoke, Sweet vanilla, Bright tropical fruit. On the Palate it has Oily texture, Sweet smoke, Smoky bacon, Peat ash, Coal tar, Barley sugar sweetness, Coconut, Smoked herbs. For the Finish, Long and drying, Campfire smoke, Clove and cinnamon, Tangy fruit syrup, Lingering peat ash All in all a successful unique and enjoyable SR from Ardbeg. Hope to see more rum cask strength versions in future.

Barely rum, but significantly overpriced simple piece.

I have tried a few Rum cask finishes and they have all been shite. Why bother, it doesn't bring anything to the party. There seems to be a lot of people slagging this whisky off yet still give it points in the 80's the mind boggles. This was a sample courtesy of peatbogger.

Нос50This smells a lot stronger in the sample bottle than it does in the Glen Cairn glass. You can smell peat smoke but very little else. The sweaty socks have just been washed. Struggling to find anything else, as Stan laurel once said "that's it, there isn't anymore, that's my story and I'm stuck with it "
Вкус60This just tastes like a very basic run of the mill Ardbeg. I can't find the rum cask influence anywhere. If I was tasting this blind I wouldn't have a cat in hells chance and neither would anyone else for that matter. Maybe a Clairvoyant could make contact " rum cask are you there? Is anyone there "? There is something in the taste and I think it's erm erm no it's gone. Again this isn't a terrible, terrible whisky as far as a basic Ardbeg goes but if you are looking for a whisky with rum cask influence forget it.
Финиш55A medium finish with your basic Ardbeg ending. What else would you expect.

quite a pleasant smoker. Not particularly complex, but definitely not bad either. Easy to drink

Нос84A light nose, less peat and umph than you usually get from a Ardbeg, some sweet notes from the rum cask influence.
Вкус86The impression from the nose continues. A lighter taste than usually, less peat also and some added sweetness. It seems quite young and lacks fullness and strength. A refined Ardbeg, but also a bit boring.
Финиш85Medium to short finish with the same notes as on the palate.

Rumors say you can tickle out the rum cask with much, much time and patience and pleading and a few drops of water. For all those who are looking for a distinctly rum-influenced malt, better look elsewhere. And for those who like the Drum just like it is (without rum), why not buy an older Ardbeg TEN instead for a third of the cost? :-)

It is as if someone tried to slap me but totally whiffed— all I feel is the breeze. That is how I might describe the experience of this dram. It was much more subtle and quiet than I expected. I really enjoyed Ardbeg’s 2018 Limited Edition, Grooves, it was just right up my alley. The red wine and heavy char produced a rich and pleasant dram, two words that I would not use to describe this one. In addition to Grooves, I also really enjoyed Glenfiddich’s Fire and Cane, another vatting of peated malts (and unpeated in that case) with a finish in South American Rum casks. I was really hoping that Drum would fall somewhere between these two excellent bottles— combine the great mouthfeel and intensity of Grooves with the wonderful combination of peat and fruit in Fire and Cane. I hoped it would be the perfect marriage of these two drams, elevating the experience of peat and rum to another level.
