Moet Hennessy has released details of the latest limited edition Ardbeg single malt Scotch expression to mark this year’s Ardbeg Day. Ardbeg Drum is a no-age-statement expression containing liquid that has been aged in ex-Bourbon casks before being moved to ex-rum casks from the Americas.

By GlobalData“In Ardbeg Drum, a multitude of complex flavours parade across the palate – fragrant pine resin and woodsmoke dance alongside ripe banana and pineapple,” said distillery manager Mickey Heads. “Then lavender, liquorice and vanilla strut into a long, smoky finish.”
Ardbeg Day is traditionally held on the last Saturday of Islay’s ‘Festival of Music & Malt’, known locally as Feis Ile.
Earlier this month, Moet Hennessy’s parent company, LVMH, was linked with Diageo for a speculative move to acquire Pernod Ricard.
