Ardbeg Wee Beastie

Solid peated whiskey. Spicy and complex. Bit harsh.

More pepper than anything else. Mouthfeel significant and consistent, but plain.

A very young whisky with character. Bottle opens with heavy, smokey aromas, but fail to carry over through to the palate and finish. The peat starts out strong, then slowly diminishes as one's tasting journey progresses. All things considered, it's a decent whisky with a gentle kick - a Wee Beastie, indeed. NOSE: Heavy peat, smoked meat, barbecue, sea salt, grass PALATE: Peat, earthiness, chlorophyll, moss, cedar bark, leather, cayenne pepper, subtle honey FINISH: Light peat, smoke, moss, grass, sea salt, hint of black pepper Rating: 83/100 Grade: B Good - not a "must", but a nice-to-have.
