Port Askaig - 8yo Islay Single Malt

Port Askaig - Islay Single Malt

Aged 8 Years

Independent Bottling. This brand is owned by the team at Elixir (the same team who are building the new distillery on Islay “Portintruan”). The name comes from one of the two ports on Islay where you can catch a ferry to the mainland, this one nestled on the Northern edge of the Island, mere minutes from the island of Jura, and near the Caol Ila distillery. In our experience here at DRINQY.com, most of the Port Askaig releases are unnamed Caol Ila distillate, though we have no way of knowing for sure that’s what’s on offer on this release, it’s a pretty safe bet to assume so. Once you realize that, this is one heck of a deal for whisky that old.

From the brand: The core expression from Port Askaig made in a beautifully sweet, smoky style. Its elegant, approachable character makes it the perfect introduction to Islay single malts. Sourced from just north of the village of Port Askaig, the whisky is aged in refill American oak casks. This allows the character of the spirit to shine through, making for a gentle, smoky, moreish dram
