Ardbeg Wee Beastie is a five-year-old single malt whisky from the renowned Ardbeg Distillery on Islay, known for its intensely smoky drams. This young and fiery whisky has a formidable taste and is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, resulting in a rich, explosive mouthfeel with notes of chocolate, tar, creosote, smoked bacon, antiseptic lozenges, eucalyptus, aniseed, and a burst of peat. Despite its young age, it packs a powerful and flavorful punch, making it a popular choice for whisky enthusiasts who appreciate bold and smoky whiskies.
Ardbeg Wee Beastie is the latest permanent expression in the Distillery's Ultimate Range, bottled at 47.4% ABV and non-chill filtered. It is a dram untamed by age, with a formidable taste that is perfect for enjoying neat or as the main ingredient in a smoky cocktail.
The Ardbeg Distillery has a rich history, having been founded in 1815 and undergoing several changes of ownership before being purchased by Glenmorangie in 1997 and becoming part of Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy. Today, Ardbeg is known for producing some of the smokiest whiskies in the world, with a raw peat that has not had time to mellow with age.
The name "Wee Beastie" is a nod to the whisky's formidable bite and the legend that it emerged from the peat bogs of Islay, wreaking havoc in its path. With its rich, smoky flavor profile and young age, Ardbeg Wee Beastie is a must-try for any whisky lover looking for a bold and intense drinking experience.
This young and typical Ardbeg is amazingly round and harmonious despite its tender age. Powerful, oily, and creamy on the palate, it offers a nice sequence of flavors typical of Islay, as well as sweet and fruity accents. It remains really drinkable even after adding a few drops of water, with nothing dominating or imposing itself—truly an all-day dram.
