ARDBEG 'Wee Beastie' 5 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Bottle (70cl) 47.4%abv

Description

Ardbeg is a legendary Islay distillery, worshipped by peat enthusiasts for its unique ability to marry intense smoke with a delicate, floral sweetness. The "Wee Beastie" is a formidable 5-year-old expression, intentionally bottled young to showcase the raw, untamed power of the distillery’s spirit.

The nose is a provocative explosion of fresh pine resin, pungent peat smoke, and cracked black pepper. On the palate, it delivers a fierce, full-bodied experience; rich layers of dark chocolate, smoked meats, and tar collide with a surprising burst of zesty lemon. The 47.4% ABV provides a robust warmth that amplifies its wild character. The finish is long and salty, leaving a lingering trail of savoury bonfire ash and cocoa. It is a wonderfully aggressive and unadulterated Islay classic.
