I was WRONG | Ardbeg Wee Beastie 5 Year Old Review

Is Ardbeg Wee Beastie 5 year old Islay Scotch the best whisky you can grab at the supermarket? It is the best deal in my Tesco!

Cheers to ‪@dribsanddrams‬ for letting me know about the dangers of Whisky Slapping and being my guest bottle slapper! Also a huge shout out to everyone who has become a member already! Really am so GREATFUL!

The Ardbeg Wee Beastie, does this show that older whisky is better? or does this young 5 year old whisky lead by example? I know I gave it a lot of praise in my Ardbeg Uigeadail featuring Rex and Brianna from the Whiskey Tribe but is Wee Beastie a good whisky in it's own review?

That thumbnail certainly makes it look a bit like Mellow Corn... that would be a great whisky to review next!

As some people like to read... let's see what the AI ChatGPT has to say about this bottle:

Ardbeg Wee Beastie is a single malt Scotch whisky produced by Ardbeg Distillery, located on the Isle of Islay in Scotland. It's known for its peaty and smoky character, which is typical of whiskies from Islay. Here are some key points you might find in a review:

Appearance: Ardbeg Wee Beastie typically has a pale straw to light gold color, indicating its relatively young age (usually around 5 years).

Nose: On the nose, expect intense peat smoke and maritime notes, reminiscent of seaweed and salty sea breeze. You may also detect some citrusy and herbal hints.

Palate: The taste is dominated by powerful peat smoke, which might be quite aggressive due to its young age. This whisky is not for the faint of heart. You may also find notes of vanilla, pepper, and a subtle sweetness.

Finish: The finish is long and smoky, leaving a lingering peatiness on the palate. Some reviewers might mention a bit of heat due to its higher alcohol content.

Age statement: As of my last update in September 2021, Ardbeg Wee Beastie was typically aged for around 5 years, which is relatively young compared to other expressions from the distillery.

Price: The price point of Ardbeg Wee Beastie is usually lower compared to some of Ardbeg's older and more premium offerings, making it an accessible entry point for those interested in exploring Islay whiskies.

Overall, Ardbeg Wee Beastie is a whisky that caters to fans of heavily peated and smoky whiskies. If you enjoy bold and intense flavors, it might be worth giving it a try.
