Port Askaig 8 Year Old

Description

Brand: Port Askaig
Category: Whisky
Type: Single Malt
Region: Scotland – Islay
Strength: 46% alc/vol

This eight year old Islay single malt, from an undisclosed distillery, has been matured in American oak barrels and bottled at 45.8%. The result is a sweet and smokey dram, with notes of honey, liquorice and preserved lemons.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Lemon zest and coal smoke with warming barley just turned on the malting floor.
Palate: Limestone, sugar snaps and coating of dark peat. Honeysuckle weaved with liquorice sweetness, fresh flavours of rock salt and black pepper linger as the smoke slowly fades.
