Port Askaig Single Cask Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 34 Year Old · 1983 Vintage
Out of stock
A single cask Islay whisky, released by Elixir Distillers under the Port Askaig label. While this is a secret islay distillery, the inference is, that this is a 34 year old Caol Ila. Matured in an American oak bourbon hogshead, its bottled at natural cask strength and is 1 of just 180 bottles worldwide.
A refined and surprisingly fairly youthful nose that combines sweetness in the form of biscuity honeycomb and maltiness along with ashy and bonfire embers, there's also a hint of citrus and grass. The palate is textured with a continuation of the aromas. There also develops a herbal and savouryness, medicinal and tobbaco leaf. The finish is warming, long and earthy.
Beautifully complex and developed.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with bronzed honey hues and a burnished copper glow, reminiscent of sunset in a glass.
Nose
Refined and surprisingly youthful on the nose, it opens with biscuity honeycomb sweetness and malt, tempered by ash and bonfire embers. Fresh citrus zest and green grass lift the profile, while a delicate herbal note adds a savory, restrained edge.
Palate
Textured and evolving, the palate carries forward the honeyed malt sweetness into a herbal, savoury core with medicinal undertones and tobacco leaf, finishing warm, long and earthy.
Finish
A warming, long finish with earthy depth that lingers on the palate, an enduring, soil-toned echo that slowly fades.
