Port Askaig,

Cask Strength 2023 Release

59.4% ABV

This cask strength Port Askaig was released as part of the brand's 2023 relaunch.

Aged in both first-fill bourbon barrels and refill American oak hogsheads, there's vanilla and citrus alongside distinctive Islay peat smoke.

No more than 60 casks go into each batch, and each batch will offer a slightly different take on the taste of Islay.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Bursts of zesty citrus and black pepper, evolving to toasted bread, marmalade, and smoke.

Taste: Salted caramel, fresh lime, and spices.

Finish: Lingering spice, smouldering ash, and toffee-like richness.
