Tasting Notes

This Port Askaig Cask Strength Batch #01-2023 whisky is a true embodiment of Islay's rugged charm. As you take in the aroma, it's like stepping into a wildflower meadow, with fresh grassy notes intertwined with vibrant citrus accents, all punctuated by the alluring scent of a crackling bonfire. On the palate, it's a delightful dance between dark chocolate, salted caramel, and vanilla, with the unmistakable presence of Islay's signature peat smoke. The finish lingers with a briny, smouldering ash, leaving you craving for more. Meticulously crafted from a blend of first-fill bourbon barrels and refill American oak hogsheads, each batch offers a unique interpretation of Islay's distinctive character, with no more than 60 casks in each release, ensuring a truly exclusive and captivating experience.
