Port Askaig Cask Strength #02-2024
Special features: The Port Askaig Cask Strength #02-2024 is a cask strength small batch, sourced from no more than 60 casks from an Islay distillery on the northeast coast. The combination of 62% sherry casks (PX butts, Oloroso butts & HHDs), refill butts, hogheads, and a small proportion of bourbon barrels gives this whisky complex layers of dark sweetness, zesty fruit, and warm spice that merge with typical Islay smoke. The origin of the malts remains a closely guarded secret, making each bottling an exciting mystery malt.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Initially dominated by fresh lemons and smoky notes of grilled sausages. This is followed by aromas of espresso, light licorice, syrup, and semi-sweet dark chocolate. Sultanas and warm dates combine with rich, dark coal smoke.
- Palate: Lush campfire smoke and toffee meet bitter lemon and mandarin peels. Ginger spice complements notes of dark chocolate and star anise. The peat reveals a classic medicinal Islay note, accompanied by hints of cherry and dried raspberry.
- Finish: Long-lasting with cocoa nibs and coal smoke, while lemon oil and raspberry leaf tea leave a pleasant dryness.
Distillery/Bottler: Behind Port Askaig is Elixir Distillers, an independent bottler focused on high-quality single malts. The brand embodies the rugged, maritime character of Islay and brings the typical island character into the bottle with its mysterious "mystery malts." The bottlings represent authentic Islay experiences without revealing the distillery.
