Ardbeg – Wee Beastie 5 Years (70cl, 47.4%)

Wee Beastie is a five-year-old Islay single malt from Ardbeg, bottled at 47.4% in a 70cl bottle. It is suggested for drinking neat or as the base of a powerfully smoky cocktail. The nose brings ground black pepper, pine resin and a strong note of smoke. On the palate, chocolate, creosote and tar arrive together with salted meats. The finish is long and salty.
