Port Askaig100° Proof ElD
Summary
Port Askaig 100° Proof is a single malt whisky that embodies the rugged and maritime character of Islay. Bottled at a higher proof, it offers a robust and intense experience that is both invigorating and complex. This whisky is non-chill filtered, preserving its natural oils and flavors, which contribute to its rich texture and depth. The higher alcohol content amplifies the flavors, making it a bold choice for those who appreciate a more powerful dram.
On the nose, this whisky presents a symphony of coastal aromas, with hints of sea spray, iodine, and a subtle smokiness that is characteristic of Islay malts. The palate is equally compelling, with a harmonious blend of sweet malt, citrus zest, and a pronounced peat smoke that lingers beautifully. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lasting impression of smoky sweetness and a touch of brine.
This whisky is perfect for those who enjoy a peated profile but with a balanced complexity that offers more than just smoke. Its higher proof makes it an excellent choice for sipping neat, allowing the full spectrum of flavors to unfold. Whether you are a seasoned whisky enthusiast or a novice looking to explore the world of Islay malts, this bottle promises a memorable and rewarding experience.
