Whiskey Advocate #6 Whiskey of 2020
The youthful age statement may take many scotch drinkers by surprise, but dont let double-digit bias prevent you from enjoying this exciting yet easy-drinking peat bomb. Salt water and seaweed, smoke and sweet peat tussle on the nose, while vanilla, fresh berries, and ample nuttiness spread out and take hold. The structured, balanced palate is creamy, nutty, and spiced, showcasing brown-sugar bacon, smoked salt, milk chocolate, pepper, and well-integrated oak, all wrapped up like a cigar with flakes of ash and sustained smoke. This precocious youngster shows more complexity than some whiskies twice its age, making it a remarkable find. Susannah Skiver Barton
Matured in a combination of bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry casks, Wee Beastie is bottled at a reasonably powerful 47.4. But of course the standout feature here is this Ardbeg's tender age. At only 5 years old, we're in territory where most distillers wouldn't even dare slap an age statement on the bottle.

About Ardbeg
The Ardbeg distillery has been producing whisky since 1798, and began commercial production in 1815.[3] Like most Scottish distilleries, for most of its history, its whisky was produced for use in blended whisky, rather than as a single malt. By 1886 the distillery produced 300,000 gallons of whisky per year, and employed 60 workers.[3] Production was halted in 1981, but resumed on a limited basis in 1989 and continued at a low level through late 1996, during the period when Ardbeg was owned by Hiram Walker.[citation needed] In 1997 the distillery was bought and reopened by Glenmorangie plc (subsequently taken over by the French company LVMH on 28 December 2004)[4] with production resuming on June 25, 1997 and full production resuming in 1998. The distillery was reopened by Ed Dodson in 1997 and handed over to Stuart Thomson, who managed it from 1997 to 2006. Michael "Mickey" Heads, an Islay native and former manager at Jura who had worked at Ardbeg years earlier, took over on 12 March 2007.

Great scotch for the price.
"This is a smokey/peaty Ardbeg, and very similar to more costly bottles. Don't let the 5year aging dissuade you from trying it. One of my favorites."
Wow!!!
"We love Ardbeg, and this one did not disappoint. It has depth of flavor and is nice and smoky."
