Tasting Notes:

Tasting Notes by Tim F

Nose: Citrus and sweetness initially, with lemon juice, orange zest, honey and lemon curd.  The phenols are restrained, lurking in the background as coal and wet burnt wood.  With time more sooty notes emerge, alongside grapefruit, tangerine peel and faint medicine cabinet hints.

Palate:  A soft entry at first, with honey and lemon from the nose and a hint of brine.  Then a rush of spongecake accompanies the tangerine and grapefruit, before the coal finally emerges mid-palate, setlling onto the tastebuds for a long, but balanced peaty, smokey rumble.

Finish:  Long, becoming warm.  Coal and pepper with some delicious flashes of honey and marmalade.

Comment:  Quite worryingly drinkable and extremely more-ish.  The balance is faultless, with each flavour element getting its moment in the limelight before dropping back into the ensemble.  An absolutely delightful dram.


Brand Info:
Port Askaig

The single malts of Islay are arguably Scotland’s most talked about whiskies and are recognised for their sweet, fruity flavours and smoky, peaty character.  Port Askaig is a range of single Islay malt whiskies aiming to achieve the perfect balance of these flavours and embody the unique spirit of Islay and its people.

Each expression within the range, from the youthful yet powerful Cask Strength to the perfectly-balanced 17 year old and the elegant and refined 25 Year Old, is bottled in limited batches expected to last approximately one year. 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.
