Was hoping for a Talisker knockoff,... not to be. There seems to be a lot of positive reviews here by many members I respect the opinions of. I dont know if they are grading on a curve cause this is a new distillery but Im just not feeling it. Regular pricing on this is around $55-60 but I got it on sale for $33 at TW. Poured neat this could be the lightest color whisky Ive ever seen just a tick above water. Noses like a smoky though with sweet bbq pit oceanside, wet graham cracker, cardboard and salty oak but not much depth. Palate is smoky,salty and sweet but generic and thin. Traditional smoke fade finish with some ash, tobacco and pepper added. There is nothing bad about this malt its just not standing out. Perhaps its the youth at play but Wee Beastie is young and still packs a punch. I will say there is a refinement not every smoker has and with more age this could be a player. I dont dislike this but would put it more on the level of Ardmore than the big boys. The $33 I paid is fine value but $60 is right out. I cannot score any peated scotch low as they are pretty damn good even when below the competition.........83/100
