Ardbeg Wee Beastie

At first, tasted like shit. After months of oxidation actually a really great rich peated dram. Lacks complexity but is a great representation of the ardbeg distillery character

92.8 proof. Aged in ex bourbon barrels and ex sherry casks. 100% malted barley. Juicy, tangy barbeque sauce on steak and candied bacon, briny peat, oak, plums, apricots, caramel, chocolate, cherries and salted peanuts, sweet tobacco leaves, oranges, sweet corn, toasted barley (Lucky Charms), bananas, vanilla ice cream, char, pineapple, coconut, sugar cookies, grapes, sage, toasted marshmallow, butter popcorn, raspberries, chocolate cappuccino, graham cracker, lemon, honey, nugget. Perfect blend. My favorite whiskey!

Nose: Wet Oak, Funky jump out the glass peat, Dark ripe Fig, Honestly not really much alcohol burn, Heavy brine ( coastal sea side ). Palate: Mouthwatering, Clingy, Oily, Viscous, Peat is there but it’s not nearly as strong as the nose, dare I say...soft like? Arrival is mostly Brine, Oak, Nutty, Bitter chocolate. The back palate is where the Fruit and Dark Sherry influence comes around. Little alcohol; The peat mellows it out nicely Finish: Peppery sensation on the back end, Slight ethanol burn, Lingering, Long, with Dark chocolate and Coffee grounds, oily, no ash or bitterness but more like heavy peat smoke like that of a cigar.
