Ardbeg Wee Beastie debuted in April 2020 as a new item in the basic offer of the distillery.
It is a blend of distillates aged in bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks for at least 5 years, bottled with an alcohol content of 47.4% and without cold filtration. Mickey Heads, Ardbeg’s manager, who has just announced his retirement, described the new creation as follows: “the introduction of a new whisky to the permanent offer is always a great event for the distillery, but Wee Beastie has a special meaning for me, as young whisky brings the consumer closer to the still, and this for me is the key to the quality of the distillate”. The term “Wee Beastie” is sometimes used in Scotland to refer to small and annoying insects such as mosquitoes.
Aroma: youth and strength, peat smoke, black pepper, a handful of fresh herbs, pine resin, grilled pork neck, a little vanilla and orange oil.
Flavor: peat smoke, a bit of ash, pepper, cocoa powder, strong smoked bacon, eucalyptus drops, vanilla and trace of tar.
Finish: medium long, with notes of peat smoke, caramel with salt, pepper, barbecue sauce and a touch of oak.

PRODUCENT - Whisky
The whiskey most likely comes from Ireland. Irish monks were making a liquor known as aqua vitae (the Gaelic name uisge beatha is a translation from Latin) as early as the 7th century. It was a mixture obtained by distillation of fruit fermentation products and used exclusively for medicinal purposes as a means of prolonging life, relieving some ailments (such as colic) and diseases (paralysis, smallpox and others). According to legend, whiskey was invented by St. Patrick. From the 17th century, the shortened form uiskie began to be used, and from around 1715 the name took the form of whiskie. The modern name - whiskey - was established only in 1736. Only high-quality glass is used in professional whiskey tastings. The so-called popular tulip glasses, the shape of which allows you to retain the aroma of whiskey, which is important during tasting. During the tasting, apart from the smell, the taste on the tongue, the finish and the balance of the whole are also assessed, often on a scale of 100 points. The whiskey served may be slightly diluted with water, which reduces the intensity of the flavor. It is also popular to serve whiskey with ice (on the rocks) or with cola, but the latter can be controversial.
