Profile: What Makes Ardbeg 5 Year Old Wee Beastie Special

Ardbeg's youngest bottling has more up its sleeve than expected – the Wee Beastie is truly bigger than its name suggests! Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-oloroso sherry casks, the Wee Beastie shows itself as a powerful, young Islay malt with typical Ardbeg character.

Tasting Notes: What Ardbeg 5 Year Old Wee Beastie Tastes Like

  • Nose: Fresh herbs, plus a touch of vanilla, pear and freshly ground black pepper – then aromas of smoked ham and strong Turkish coffee follow – juicy pine resin over everything – with a little water even more herbs, plus fennel seed and anise, fresh green apples and old leather
  • Palate: Bold on the palate – intense notes of chocolate and tar, paired with creosote tar oil and smoked bacon, behind that antiseptic tones like throat lozenges, paired with eucalyptus and more anise

Ardbeg ist einfach der Hammer. Habe vom Wee nicht so viel erwartet, aber dieser ist vergleichbar mit dem Ardbeg 10 und noch ein kleines bisschen besser. Phenolisch und harmonisch.
