The latest limited edition expression to join the Ardbeg core range in India is the Ardbeg Wee Beastie. And at just 5 years old, this feisty and intensely powerful smoky whisky is untamed by age and its barbecue-like intensity is sure to get your taste buds raving this summer.
From elusive sea creatures to eerie hillside half-breeds, the Ardbeg Distillery has a history of exploring inexplicable legends in their bottlings. However, their next unearthly expression is said to have emerged from the peat bogs of Islay in Scotland themselves.
Ardbeg Wee Beastie has been described as a ‘monster of a dram’… with a formidable bite with each sip. It’s nothing like you have tasted before and is a must-drink for all the wild ones out there!
Matured in ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, Wee Beastie bristles with intense aromas of cracked black pepper, sappy pine resin and sharp tangs of smoke. An explosive mouthfeel bursts forth with chocolate, creosote and tar. As savoury meats sink into the palate, the long salty mouth coating finish slinks away.
Ardbeg’s Director of Whisky Creation, Dr Bill Lumsden said, “I’m in no doubt that Ardbeggians will love this tongue-tingling expression. The casks chosen for its creation make it ideal for enjoying neat or as the mouth-watering main ingredient in a powerfully smoky cocktail.”
