Introduction:
Ardbeg Wee Beastie 5 Year Old is a bold and untamed Islay single malt Scotch whisky that lives up to its name. Despite its youth, it delivers a powerful punch of peat smoke, spice, and richness, showcasing the intense character that Ardbeg is celebrated for. Matured in ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, it’s a lively expression full of raw, smoky depth.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Bold aromas of Turkish coffee, pine resin, and honey-glazed ham, layered with herbal freshness and hints of vanilla.
Palate: Explosive flavors of dark chocolate, tar, and smoke with notes of smoked bacon, savory meats, and subtle sweetness.
Finish: Long, salty, and smoky with lingering touches of cocoa, fudge, and spice.
Pairings:
Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to unlock its full smoky complexity. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, smoked cheeses, or rich dark chocolate for an indulgent experience.
