Ardbeg Wee Beastie Scotch Whisky (70cl) NV
Islay
A superbly smoky dram from Ardbeg, the newest addition to the Distillery’s Ultimate Range. At a wee five years of age, it’s big, peaty and bold, already a feisty young creature with complex flavours thanks to 5 years in Oloroso and bourbon casks.
Beyond the Label
Tasting notes
Peppery warmth, chocolate, dried meats, sweet spicy smoke
Aroma
Intense black pepper, sappy pine and smoke
Ardbeg whisky creators set out to make the rawest, smokiest Ardbeg ever. The result is this beautifully smoky dram. It’s certainly no wallflower of a drink, big and bold, it’s a drop for whisky lovers who look for impression. Firstly, you’re hit by the heady aromas of cracked black pepper that mingle with sappy pine resin, and a sharp tang of smoke. Suddenly, an explosive mouthfeel bursts forth with chocolate, creosote and tar. Savoury meats sink into the palate before the long salty finish slinks away. Maturation in ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks brings a good helping of sweet smoky spice and an orange tang to the blend. Only 5 years old, it’s the youngest Ardbeg they’ve ever made. Enjoy neat or use to make a powerful smoky cocktail.
