    The wee beastie imo is very good and even better than the 10. Also the perfect scotch for a daily dram. It's affordable for everyone at only like 40-42 euro.

    My first scotch with a higher peat. At first the smoke smacks you in the face then there is a briney sweetness. Spicy and fruits with that young whiskey burn. Now I understand and taste exactly what everyone explains.

    freshly laid blacktop is still preferable to the used bandaids of Laphroaig. Still, I man up and enjoy a dram of that whenever possible.

    Lagavulin 8 was my first heavily peated whisky as well, just bought a Laphroaig 10 last weekend. Cheers!

    The tar taste is spot on. Their smokiest and most heavily peated i believe! AN OA is my favorite than the 10 follows. The Wee Beastie is just a bit too much. I could have one dram of it, then tap out to something different. Almost like very heavy beers. Have one then move to something less heavy, but sweeter.

    Another great review, Jason! I absolutely love the new Wee Beastie! Was hesitant at first to purchase, but so glad I did. When I compared it to the ten, was surprised the beast came out the winner for me. 🥃

    My first Ardbeg (last month) was the 10 and I loved it. I then tried the Wee Beastie, and loved it too! Was way less crazy as I was hearing. It didn't knock me out like I feared. Delicious and a permanent addition to my rotation! Here in Austin, TX it goes for $39.99 and the 10 goes for $49.99, which are great prices for Scotch. Lagavulin 8 goes for $66.99. Not sure if I want to pay the premium...

    Wasn’t this delicious 🤤. It really is a wee beastie. Like that little cute monster you’d find in a dark creepy attic (😉) it smiles at you and then attacks you and once it sees you’re not scared of it, it becomes your friend. same price as the ten here in Chicago too but I’m not complaining I loved it. The ten is still my go to Ardbeg. Cheers bro 🥃

    Wee Beastie is just too young for me. Honestly, I was disappointed. I've had many young Kilchomans that were better. The nose did remind me of walking around the distillery last year. Give me the 10 any time!

    • @StillLivinginthewoods
      @StillLivinginthewoods 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The first thing I did was compare it to Kilchoman Machir Bay and Lagavulin 8.
      I liked the Kilchoman better, but to be fair the Kilchoman costs $65 and the Ardbeg cost $35.

    @Twotonsandwich 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome. I’ve been wanting to do a side by side of these exact three. I was able to get the Beastie around here (MN) for about $38 which I thought was okay. The 10 usually goes for $45-50. Hoping that the Beastie will go on sale occasionally. If it was $30 I’d buy it like crazy. Won’t be replacing the 10 for me, but it’s a fun change of pace, and I love the proud age statement and higher ABV.
