Whisky ARDBEG 5 Y.O. Wee...
<br />Ardbeg Wee Beastie<br /><br />IT'S A MONSTER OF A DRAM<br /><br />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<br />formidable taste.<br /><br />SOMETHING BIG AND SMOKY.<br /><br />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<br />Ardbeg we've ever made.<br /><br />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<br />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.<br /><br />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-<br />watering main ingredient in a powerfully smoky cocktail.<br /><br />Non chill-filtered at 47.4%.<br /><br />Colour: A glint of bright Gold (Auric)<br />Aroma: The first sniff alerts you to a nearby presence. heightened senses are filled with very bright, fresh herbal notes, with creeping hints of vanilla and pear. Rich Turkish<br />coffee mingles with sappy pine resin, with honey-glazed ham lurking in the background. With water, more herbal top notes like vetiver and fennel captivate and pull you in,<br />while beguiling scents of aniseed, green apple and leather cause you to drop your guard. Out of nowhere, a sharp tang of smoke and a crack of fresh black pepper fire<br />warning shots across the senses.<br />Taste: Suddenly, a rich, explosive mouthfeel bursts forth with chocolate, creosote and tar. A powerful blast of eucalyptus thrashes about with antiseptic lozenges and<br />aniseed. The raw, smoky intensity gathers pace, before smoked bacon and savoury meats sink into the palate.<br />Finish: The long, salty mouthcoating finish retreats, with hints of cocoa and fudge slinking slowly away.<br />
