Tasting Notes

A harmonious symphony of flavors unfolds in this 8-year-old Port Askaig whisky, where the quintessential peat smoke of Islay gracefully dances with notes of vanilla sweetness and zesty citrus. The nose captivates with an intricate interplay of these aromas, whetting the palate for the depth that awaits. On the tongue, a tapestry of seagrass, limestone, burnt tires, liquorice, and dark peat unfurls, each sip a captivating exploration of Islay's rugged terroir. The finish lingers with smoky tendrils, a lasting reminder of the island's iconic character. Aged initially in American oak barrels and meticulously finished in a selection of bourbon barrels, toasted American oak barrels, PX sherry butts, and refill hogsheads, this non-chill filtered and natural-colored whisky is a testament to the art of blending and the enduring spirit of Port Askaig.
