Port Askaig

A brand-new cask strength (undiluted) expression from Port Askaig, selected from small batches of barrels from an undisclosed distillery on the Isle of Islay. With zesty lime, black pepper and toasted bread notes comes the signature style of rich, salty peat smoke. A very balanced example of the quintessential Islay style.

A brand-new release from Elixir distillers and their Port Askaig range, selected from American oak casks that have allowed for a slow and gentle maturation of 17 years. While the source of this whisky is kept secret, there are distinct notes of ham, melon and citrus that is common to a northern Islay distillery. The mellow, medicinal peat smoke shows salty minerality, joining herbaceous tones and red fruit sweetness.

This incredibly rare whisky is the oldest Islay single malt we have stocked, bottled after 45 years of maturation. Distilled at an undisclosed distillery in 1968, this bottling is a combination of 5 old sherry casks. It carries a staggeringly complex array of aromas of flavours - honey sweetness, rich over-ripe fruit, a hint of menthol and a waves of herbal tones and tropical fruit.
