Ardbeg Wee Beastie

This is good, full peated Scotch. Heavy phenol with some interesting fruit. Also, rich, oily and surprisingly drying on the finish. All of which I enjoy. However, it is way overhyped IMO. I even prefer the regular 10 year which is cheaper in my market! Worth a try, but please to do not throw money at this. I do not appreciate the over marketing here.

Nose: Sweet smokey BBQ during a bonfire, saltwater, chocolate fudge Palette: Meat smoke, pear, seasoning salt Finish: Chocolate and pear, lingering smoke

Just cracked open and the nose is all a garlic tang reminiscent of good moonshine and cracked pepper with a hint of peat. The taste in the biggest departure from the nose staying true to ardbed, sweet and peat, only vegetal and more salt than other ardbegs with Girl Scout thin mints and a hint of hickory.
