Description
Ardbeg's Wee Beastie 5-Year-Old is a youthful single malt drawn from a combination of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, bottled at five years of age. Peat and bonfire smoke up front, with a rustic note reminiscent of mezcal, this has a nicely integrated soft oaky backbone. Although not as aggressive as the name suggests, the Wee Beastie has a satisfyingly full flavour profile that makes for a gentle introduction to the Ardbeg style. One to try with anything from dark chocolate to barbequed ribs

Islay
Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
