Product Description

A 2015 release of the ever-popular Port Askaig 30 Year Old. Long ageing has allowed all the flavours to integrate, revealing soft smoky notes with liquorice and banana bread.

This combination that involves citrus, sap, almonds, and anything coastal and medicinal, is just irresistible. 90 points. Serge Valentin, whiskyfun.com

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes by the Whisky Exchange
- Nose
  Lots going on – honey, barley sugar, bananas and melon, backed up by restrained peat smoke.
- Palate
  More evident smoke complemented by wet peat, honey, lemon and the fruit from the nose.
- Finish
  Intense to start but fading to long and lingering sootiness with fruity hints.
Producer's Tasting Notes
- Matured for more than 30 years in American oak casks, much of the heavy smoke and medicinal notes has been softened and complemented with honeysuckle and autumn fruit.
  Freshly baked banana bread and sticky liquorice sweets create a moreish dram to be savoured late in the evening.
Tasting Notes by Rocky
- Nose
  Citrus-rich with lemon and lime, joined by classic Islay notes of brine and iodine in the background.
- Palate
  The salinity comes through, with a hint of tropical fruit (peach and pineapple), with the iodine again subtle.
- Finish
  Dry with a salty tang and a peaty backbone.
Tasting notes by Billy A
- Nose
  Sooty fireplaces to start, followed by a blast of fruit: apples, pears and bananas. Damp oak and dowsed log fires mingle with fresh mint, a briny tang, crushed seashells and a chamois leather backbone.
- Palate
  Soft and oily on the palate, with stewed apple and damp oak to start. Smoke builds, but is elegant and restrained, providing a mineral-heavy counterpoint to polished oak, linseed oil and hints of liquorice. As the stronger flavours fade, a delicate floral core of honeysuckle and violet is revealed.
- Finish
  Soft smoke, with juicy apples and pears, shifting to honeysuckle and barley sugar, with spicy green leaves and a background whiff of smoke.
Tasting Notes by Stuart P
- Nose
  Honey, malt, gristy barley notes at first, then finely poised fruity notes arrive: Williams pear and green apple. Richness comes in the form of banana bread, while delicate peat smoke hovers in the background.
- Palate
  Whistle-clean apples and pears, then a honeyed character comes through, followed by well-judged peat smoke. Beautifully balanced, with no single element dominating.
- Finish
  Rich, honeyed fruit lingers, well supported by suitably savoury smoke.
