Port Askaig Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 8 Yr 750ml

Description

INFO

Its soft, sweet peaty character makes it the perfect introduction to the Island of Islay. Aged in refill American oak, the character of the spirit shines through, making for a gentle, smoky, moreish dram. Region:Islay Country: Scotland ABV:45.8%

Nose: Fresh, clean and vibrant with notes of lemon oil and sea spray. The smoke is gentle but alluring, reminiscent of wood embers and coal, cooling on a beach fire.

Palate: Rich citrus fruit and salt-baked mackerel. Classic Islay peat reek is mixed with a subtle honeysuckle sweetness while a background herbal character adds balance.

Finish: Barley sugar lingers as the soot and smoke dissipate, leaving the palate clean and ready for another sip.

Nestled into the north coast of the island, the port village of Port Askaig has been the gateway to Islay for hundreds of years; for many, it is the start of a journey that will stay with them for a lifetime.
