An untamed young single malt from Ardbeg, Wee Beastie has spent five years in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks before being unleashed. Fresh, herbal aromas of pear, cracked black pepper, pine needles, vanilla and honey-glazed ham mingle on the nose with aniseed, green apple, leather and coffee. The palate offers notes of dark chocolate, hot tar, smoked bacon, aniseed and eucalyptus that liner in the finish.

Tasting Notes

Nose
Crunchy barley sugar, sharp apples, cracked stones and lashings of smoke. Damp seaweed, rock pools and mossy stones stick out from behind the smoke, followed by tarry ropes, burning pine needles, singed lemon peel and barbecued apples.
-
Palate
Crisp apples, ash and a big hit of damp peat smoke to start. Gravel and burnt logs develop along with sea-spray brininess. The dryness disappears under a wave of lemon and apples, before reasserting itself with a shovel of driveway gravel and ash.
-
Finish
Fresh leather, creosoted fences and piles of lemon peel.
-
Comment
An unashamedly brash and youthful Ardbeg, tempering the raw character of the new-make spirit with just enough oak influence without losing any punch. Elemental stuff.

Outstandingly peaty. Could smell the smoke a metre from the glass sitting outside. New shoe leather behind the smoke. Wow! This upstart delivers a punch Mike Tyson would be proud of. Brine, smoke, ash and leather all linger for an eternity on the palate. I'm reluctant to taste again because flavours are still manifesting. Oil and sea saltiness comes in much later, and finally that heavy peat continues to linger long after it's gone. Not one for the feint of heart but an exceptional dram. If adding water, be carefull. Too much and you will kill it stone dead.

So much like Talisker storm but stronger, proper pepper and fire. Then some slight medicinal element and sweet smoke. Shorter lived than the 10 Yr old but a nice dram. None of the sherry that corryvrecken gives, nothing like it
