Tasting Notes:

Tasting Notes by Tim F

Nose:  Orange (blossom and zest), honeysuckle, oak and a waxy character.  Melon, faint notes of cocoa, ash and burnt wood.

P:  Medium-bodied.  Strong, pure malty flavours.  More woody than the nose would suggest, as the oak asserts itself.  The citrus is here, lemon and orange zest, with some golden toasted barley, brine and linseed oil. The phenols are quite restrained: coalsmoke and ash.  A spicy character spreads itself across the tongue - wood spice, dusty libraries, drying oak tannins.  Water lifts the orange notes very well.

F:  Medium length, dry.  Becomes more briney with a trace of lemon zest and pepper.  The oak rumbles on with a trace of smoke.

C:  A distinguished elder statesman.  An oaky, citrussy treat, best taken with a small drop of water to release the fruitiness.


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.
