Ardbeg Wee Beastie
Ardbeg Wee Beastie is the latest permanent expression to join the Distillery's Ultimate Range. At just five years old, Wee Beastie is a feisty young creature with a formidable taste. Our whisky creators set out to make the rawest, smokiest Ardbeg ever. The result is Ardbeg Wee Beastie and this tongue-tingling, beautifully smoky dram is the youngest Ardbeg we've ever made. On the snout, intense aromas of cracked blacked pepper 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 mouthcoating finish slinks away revealing the inner beast of this Islay icon. Young and intensely smoky, this is a dram untamed by age. Matured in ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, Wee Beastie is perfect for enjoying neat or as the mouth-watering main ingredient in a powerfully smoky cocktail.

Nose: Herbal notes, with hints of vanilla and pear. Rich Turkish coffee mingles with honey-glazed ham lurking in the background. Fennel, scents of aniseed, green apple and leather. A sharp tang of smoke and a crack of fresh black pepper.
Palate: Rich, explosive mouthfeel bursts forth with chocolate and tar. A powerful blast of eucalyptus with antiseptic lozenges and aniseed. Raw, smoky intensity before smoked bacon and savoury meats sink into the palate.
Finish: The long, briny, salty mouthcoating finish retreats, with hints of cocoa and fudge slinking slowly away.
