Description

Ardbeg 5 Year Old Wee Beastie is a permanent addition to Ardbeg's core range, released in 2020. This intensely smoky Islay single malt is matured for five years in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry casks. It is bottled non-chill filtered at 47.4% ABV, offering a bold and feisty character that showcases Ardbeg's distinctive peated style at a young age. It's described as a 'peat monster' and 'the rawest, smokiest Ardbeg ever', providing a powerful and complex flavor experience.

Nose
Fresh herbal notes, with hints of vanilla and pear. Rich Turkish coffee mingles with sappy pine resin, and honey-glazed ham. With water, more herbs, fennel seeds, anise, green apples, and old leather emerge.
Palate
A rich, explosive mouthfeel with chocolate, creosote, tar, and cracked black pepper. Eucalyptus, antiseptic lozenges, and aniseed follow, with smoked bacon and savoury meats.
Finish
Long, salty, and mouthcoating, with hints of fudge, cocoa, and savoury meats, lingering peat, and a subtle warmth.
