Port Askaig 8 years old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 45.8%

Port Askaig 8 years Old is a super nice whisky from the island of Islay. As always with this type of whisky with no distillery name on the bottle, you wonder "Which distillery supplied the whisky for this bottling" - we don't know, but if rumors are to be believed, Caol Ila is the leading candidate. It's certainly the same semi-strong smoke and citrus character. Bottled at 45.8% alcohol with no chill filtration or added coloring. Enjoy this Port Askaig in a Glencairn glass and look forward to: Smoke and crisp citrus notes and the scent of fresh fruit and malt on the nose. Flavors head towards: Honeysuckle, sea salt, licorice and peat in this 8 year Port Askaig Whisky.

The youngest age-statement release in the Port Askaig range of single malts from undisclosed Islay distilleries

Port Askaig is the name of a small port town on the east coast of Islay. Near the town is the Caol Ila distillery, which is Islay the largest distillery. Caol Ila The malt whisky is known for its fruity character and dusty peaty taste. From Port Askaig the coastline of the nearby Isle of Jura can be glimpsed on a clear day. It is this coastline that is the motif on the label of the Port Askaig bottlings.

The single malts of Islay are arguably Scotland 's most talked about whiskies and are recognised for their sweet, fruity flavours and smoky, peaty character. Port Askaig is a range of single Islay malt Scotch whiskies that achieves the perfect balance of these flavours and embodies the unique spirit of Islay and its people.

The range has been developed to appeal to the novice whisky drinker while meeting the demands of the most discerning of whisky connoisseurs. In selecting the source distillery, we chose what we believe is the most perfectly balanced Islay single malt and created a range that, in time, will become recognised as a true Islay classic.

In a world of change and innovation, there is still a place for the tried and tested approach. The traditional yet contemporary look of the packaging and expert cask selection will ensure Port Askaig can stand side by side with Islay’s more established brands. Remaining true to the practice of the early 1900’s, we bottle Port Askaig 17 & 25 year old at Imperial 80 proof (today’s 45.8%vol) and Cask Strength at Imperial 100 proof (57.1%vol)
