Ardbeg Day
tickets now on sale for the 2019 Ardbeg
Day fun and celebrations in London's
Regent's Park which this year has a
Caribbean twist.
 With Ardbeg Day 2019 on the horizon
the peaty Islay single malt has revealed
how this annual whisky celebration will
take shape in London, for those wanting
to share in the rum-bustious revelry
away from its native Islay shores.
Each year, Ardbeg Day takes place on the
last Saturday of Islay’s Festival of
Music and Malt – this year: 1st June
2019. For this year’s celebration,
Ardbeg is preparing to close out the
Feis Ile like never before. In a
spectacular Caribbean twist, Ardbeggians
everywhere are invited to swap their
flat caps for elaborate headdresses as
Ardbeg Day embraces a dash of carnival
colour.
The Distillery will be resurrecting
Islay’s carnival traditions – London
being no exception with celebrations
taking place in Regent’s Park on the
beautiful York Lawns for Ardbeg’s ‘Drum
Roll Please…’
Ardbeggian guests can join the
celebrations from 2pm onwards, for an
afternoon comprising a jamboree of
flavours, games and influences from both
Islay and the Caribbean, all in
celebration of the latest Ardbeg Day
limited edition release – Ardbeg Drum.
Guests will be invited to arrive in
their Caribbean-meets-Islay finery as
they choose and will be greeted with
delicious, thirst-quenching Ardbeg
cocktails upon arrival.
 The afternoon will unfold into a
jamboree of extraordinary Islay and
Caribbean experiences, kicking off with
live music from a Steel band and the
chance to learn how to ceilidh dance.
Guests can then relax by exploring the
various carnival games and experiences:
from tug-o-war and welly tossing, to
bespoke whisky tastings with Ardbeg’s
global brand ambassador Paul Malone and
an extraordinary colourful float race.
All in tandem with sipping Ardbeg’s most
mouth-watering cocktails and drams,
served alongside stunning food with a
taste of Caribbean flavours.
Ardbeg Day will mark the official
release of Ardbeg Drum – a limited
edition bottling imbued with the
ultimate influence of carnival spirit,
rum. In a first for the Distillery,
Ardbeg have taken Ardbeg single malt
from ex-Bourbon casks and rested it
awhile in ex-rum casks from the Americas
to coax out tropical tastes.
Ardbeg’s ‘Drum Roll Please...’ is open
to everybody, so feel free to grab some
friends and enjoy the spectacle en
masse. Tickets for this special
Ardbeg-filled afternoon in London
Regent’s Park are priced at £38 per head

Ardbeg Drum Review
|
Ardbeg Drum (general release) is non
chill-filtered and bottled at 46% ABV.
Producer's Tasting Notes:
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.
Taste:
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.
