Tasting Notes
This exquisite 28-year-old Islay single malt whisky from the Port Askaig range is a true gem. Aged to perfection in refill American hogshead casks, it unveils a captivating aroma reminiscent of tarry ropes, smoked almonds, and delightfully buttered crumpets. Upon the first sip, your palate is greeted by a harmonious interplay of salinity, mature oak, and smoky notes, creating a mesmerizing symphony. As the whisky lingers, it unfolds with a delicate floral hint of heather, complemented by a subtle sweetness akin to dried apples. The finish is nothing short of remarkable, with spicy cedar, a touch of sea salt, zesty lemon peel, and a delightful peach note lingering on the palate. Although the distillery responsible for this exceptional single malt remains a mystery, the quality and craftsmanship behind this Port Askaig offering are undeniable, making it a truly marvellous and enigmatic experience for any whisky enthusiast.
