Ardbeg Wee Beastie Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl - RV Drinks

The youngest permanent expression Ardbeg has ever released, matured for just five years in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry butts, delivers an untamed, super-peaty character that lives up to its 'wee beastie' name despite the youthful age statement. Smoked brisket and tangy barbecue sauce open the nose alongside apple skin, apple blossom and herbal mint tea, developing into a palate where sweet spun sugar meets fresh green apple before bland wood, leather and a touch of salinity and cracked black pepper take hold, closing with soot lingering on the tongue in a genuinely intense, non-chill filtered expression built for peat lovers.
