Ardbeg Wee Beastie 5-Year-Old

Product Details:

Ardbeg’s Wee Beastie is a bold five-year-old single malt, matured in a mix of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. Despite its youthful age, it bursts with intense peaty flavors, with oak taking a subtle back seat. Don’t let its short time in the casks fool you—Wee Beastie packs a punch, offering a complex profile that’s sure to win over Ardbeg fans.

Tasting Notes:
The nose reveals a medley of sea spray, smoked malt, and damp bonfire wood, with sweet hints of brown sugar, vanilla, and pear drops. The palate delivers a sweet and salty combination of citrus oils, orchard fruits, and dark berry tartness, followed by notes of damp peat, dry wood smoke, pepper steak, and touches of clove and liquorice. The long, oily finish offers bursts of lemon sherbet, freshly cut peat, and a hint of salted caramel, evoking the essence of a seaside bonfire.
