Ardbeg 5yr Wee Beastie Single Malt is an exhilarating expression crafted by our whisky creators aiming to produce the rawest, smokiest Ardbeg to date. This youngest Ardbeg ever made presents a beautifully smoky dram that tantalizes the palate.
Aroma and Flavor Profile
On the nose, it greets you with intense aromas of cracked black pepper intertwined with sappy pine resin and a sharp tang of smoke. As you take a sip, an explosive mouthfeel emerges, revealing layers of chocolate, creosote, and tar. The palate is further enriched by savory meats, leading to a long, salty mouthcoating finish that unveils the inner beast of this Islay icon.
Maturation and Serving Suggestions
Wee Beastie is matured in ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, enhancing its bold character. This whisky is ideal for enjoying neat or as the main ingredient in a powerfully smoky cocktail.
Please drink responsibly.
