Port Askaig Aged 8 Years Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 45.8% Age: No Age Statement Country: Scotland
The Port Askaig range is brought to us by Specialty Drinks Limited who were responsible for the Elements of Islay independently bottled range brought to Australia a few years back. The single malt is produced at an undisclosed distillery however there is plenty of discussion that this is whisky from Caol Ila distillery on Islay.
The whisky has been matured in ex-Bourbon casks for a minimum of 8 years allowing the bourbon barrels to combine with the warm smoky notes creating a very drinkable Islay single malt whisky.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Orchard fruits and fresh malted barely lead to citrus and coal fire smoke.
Palate: Liquorice and honeysuckle, earthy smoky peat and sugar snap peas.
Finish: Cracked black pepper and lemon citrus, plenty of smoke all round.
