  Port Askaig 13 year Juul's 100th Anniversary Islay Single Malt Whisky 70 cl 57%

  Item no.: 051955-775515

  Port Askaig is where Islay starts for most people. The ferry from the mainland pulls into the small harbour on the east coast, and from here visitors fan out to the island's distilleries. The label says Gateway to Islay. Inside the bottle, thirteen years in a single Pedro Ximénez sherry butt, where dark, sticky sweetness has sat right up against the peat smoke.

  Expert's Description

  Port Askaig 13 year Juul's 100th Anniversary is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a Pedro Ximénez sherry butt and bottled at 57%.

  It was bottled for Juul's Vin og Spiritus to mark the shop's 100th anniversary, 1926-2026, by Elixir Distillers. The whisky was distilled on 14 March 2013 and has matured for thirteen years. Only 337 bottles were made. It is non-chill filtered and has no added colouring.

  Port Askaig is a brand, not a distillery. Elixir Distillers of London has owned it since 2009 and picks its own parcels of Islay malt to bottle under the name. They don't say which distillery is behind the whisky, and that goes for this one too. The name comes from the village of Port Askaig, the island's ferry port.

  The cask does most of the work. PX stands for Pedro Ximénez, a grape that is dried in the sun and turned into a very sweet, dark sherry. A butt is a large sherry cask of around 500 litres. According to the back label, the cask builds layer on layer of dried fruit and chocolate, set against clean, salty peat smoke and lemon peel.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Peat smoke and dark chocolate come first. Then raisins, dates and treacle, a little soot and orange peel, and right at the bottom something close to leather.

  Palate

  Dark sherry fruit and caramel open, then the smoke takes over, heavy and dense. Figs and toffee, followed by black pepper, ginger and clove, and a touch of salt.

  Finish

  Long. Peat smoke, dark chocolate and dried fruit hang on, the spice arrives late, and in the end it's the salt from the coast that remains.

  Port Askaig 100 proof Single Islay Malt Whisky 57,1%

  Item no.: 22227865363-248

  The ferry slides into Port Askaig, and the island announces itself before you step off: seaweed, smoke and cold air blowing across the Sound of Islay. There is no distillery in the village. Still, it has been Islay's front door for hundreds of years, and this bottle borrows its name.

  Expert description

  Port Askaig 100 Proof is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in 1st fill Bourbon casks and bottled at 57.1% ABV.

  Port Askaig is a range from the independent bottler Elixir Distillers in London. Elixir picks the casks from distilleries across the island, and the distillery behind this particular bottle is not disclosed. It is a single malt, made from malted barley alone, and the smoke comes from peat.

  The name is an old British measure of strength, where 100 proof equals 57.1%. 100 Proof first appeared in 2015, vanished because the brand could not source consistent whisky without cutting corners, and is back on shelves from May 2026. There is no age statement.

  The whisky is matured exclusively in unrinsed 1st fill Bourbon casks and bottled in small batches of around 60 casks at a time. The Bourbon casks bring vanilla and caramel, while the high strength keeps the flavour dense and concentrated. It is non-chill filtered and natural in colour.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Toasted rye bread and honey, lemon zest on top and dark coal smoke underneath. A little milk chocolate at the end.

  Palate

  Ginger and bright citrus arrive first. Then the peat smoke, and behind it a soft caramel sweetness.

  Finish

  Herbal, with aniseed and raspberry leaf and a touch of chocolate and lime.
