Cask Strength Distillery Bottling

Young and intensely smoky, this is a dram untamed by age. At just five years old, Wee Beastie is a feisty young creature with a formidable taste. The creators at Ardbeg set out to make the rawest, smokiest Ardbeg ever. The result is this tongue-tingling, beautifully smoky dram - the youngest Ardbeg has ever made.

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 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.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Pale straw-gold, bright and transparent with a hint of sun-warmed amber.

Nose

Intense cracked black pepper mingled with sappy pine resin and a sharp tang of smoke, delivering a bracing, pepper-forward nose that signals Ardbeg’s raw, unapologetic smokiness.

Palate

Feisty on the palate, crackling with cracked black pepper and pine resin sharpened by smoke. An explosive mouthfeel unfurls notes of dark chocolate, creosote and tar, with savory meats lending depth. The finish is long, mouthcoating and salty, slowly receding to reveal the untamed inner beast of Islay.

Finish

Long, salty mouthcoating finish that lingers, with savory meat notes and wisps of creosote and tar fading to a whisper of Ardbeg’s inner beast.
