PORT ASKAIG - 8 ans - 45,8%
Nestled into the north coast of the island, Port Askaig has been the gateway to Islay for hundreds of years. Port Askaig is a range of Islay single malt whiskies that embodies the unique spirit of Islay and its people. Its character brings together the robust smokiness and soft fruitiness found in this beguiling island. The range has been developed to appeal to the most discerning of whisky connoisseurs while also appealing to the novice whisky drinker.
Each expression within the range is bottled in limited batches. While recognising that each bottling will vary, the aim is to achieve a consistency of quality and character over time. To ensure each whisky maintains its original flavour and character, the whiskies are not chill-filtered and no colouring is added.
The 8 years-old is the perfect introduction to the Isle of Islay. The whisky has a soft, sweet peaty character very well balanced from the ageing in refill American oak.
