Port Askaig 8 Year Old Reviews

Tasting Notes

  • Tasting Notes by The Whisky Exchange

    Nose: Zesty and smoky: freshly peeled lemons and coal smoke with orchard fruit and fresh grain.

    Palate: Limestone and coal fires give way to honeysuckle, sugar-snap peas and liquorice.

    Finish: Salt, pepper and lingering lemon as the smoke fades.

  • Producer's 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. 

    Finish: Fresh flavours of rock salt and black pepper linger as the smoke slowly fades.
