Ardbeg Wee Beastie Whisky 70cl

Bravo Ardbeg! This new addition to their admirable range has been matured for just 5 years, and they proudly proclaim the youth and intense smokiness of this bottling. This is a monstrously smoky experience for the drinker, but shows the quality and character still made at this excellent Islay distillery. Sherry casks are also used in the maturation, to balance out this peatiness with a little fruity sweetness.

Taste – A rich, explosive mouthfeel with lots of chocolate, tar, creosote and smoked bacon, followed by a burst of antiseptic lozenges, eucalyptus and more aniseed.
