Wee Beastie is $80 before taxes in Canada but it's still a good price! I prefer the Ten but I love both. It's personal preference. I do enjoy the smoke in the Wee Beastie. It's a different smoke to me than the peat in the Ten! Ardbeg Ten is $110 in Canada in most provinces at our government liquor stores. But I do love the meaty flavours, chocolate, espresso in the Ardbeg Ten!!
I enjoy both! Thank you for doing the comparison. You made valid points on both. Ardbeg does a great job marketing their products. I'm glad they have widespread availability here in the U.S.
Terrific comparison! For me I do clearly prefer the Ardbeg Ten over the Ardbeg Wee Beastie but I love a lot about both of them and the Wee Beastie is cheaper. Still I truly enjoy the Ten quite a bit more than the Ten. It's just personal preference! I always have both on my bar! Awesome video and I enjoyed it so much! Cheers! 🙂
Something about Islay, and to a lesser extent, peated whiskies in general, that makes age almost irrelevant to me. I’ve had 3-year-olds and 27-year-olds, and for whatever reason age doesn’t seem to have nearly as much effect on my preferences as I’d have expected. A 7-year Williamson (Laphroaig) IB is among my favorites ever.
It's so obvious which is which in a head to head, I didn't see the point. In a flight of three or more, I would do it blind, because with another sample it would get complicated.
@@whiskywhereabouts I agree! I can immediately tell which is which. There are very distinct flavor profiles. For me I actually get a more meaty taste and chocolate and espresso and lemon in the Ten!!
Best review of Wee Beastie I've heard. I keep a bottle of it. Can't beat both peat and sherry for under $50.
Thanks! It's a very solid whisky, and it seems like you're getting a good price on it. Cheers!

Thanks! You are right: these bottles are good, and they're everywhere.
Ten Year vs. the "Wee Beastie". Choose your fighter ...
Great comparison
Thanks!

Thanks! Agree it's down to personal preference, but hard to go wrong with either. Cheers.
@@whiskywhereabouts Yes I agree!
Brilliant Tim, both are absolute bangers 🥃
Hard to complain about either. Cheers!
It's minimum $15 difference here.
In Vancouver Wee Beastie is $80 before taxes and Ardbeg Ten is about $110 before taxes.
I just picked up a bottle.. and wow!! I'm no expert when it comes to tasting notes all I know is that it's friggin delicious!!
Well said.

Certainly a lot of very solid peated whiskies with youthful age statements, or none at all ...
Price difference for me is $20…$65 vs $45.
At that price it's tough to resist the Wee Beastie ... Cheers!
A great head-to-head, but don't you think these comparisons should be conducted blind?

@@whiskywhereabouts Good point.
