Hunt for the Wilderpeople / Ardbeg Wee Beastie

Hunt for the Wilderpeople / Ardbeg Wee Beastie

For Bob's next Season Five movie, he's chosen Taika Waititi's 2016 romp Hunt for the Wilderpeople. In many ways, this laid the blueprint for Waititi's next two films, examining themes of family and resilience through comedy. Brad, a big fan of Jojo Rabbit, was new to this film, but praises the performances of the two leads, as well as the overall light touch with which Waititi directs.

Meanwhile, they try the first in a line of four whiskies from Ardbeg, a single-malt scotch distillery known for its extensive use of peat. How will the Wee Beastie, its five-year expression, stack up against other peated scotches?
