Port Askaig100° Proof SMS
Summary
Port Askaig 100° Proof is a single malt whisky that hails from the Islay region of Scotland, known for its robust and peaty expressions. Bottled at a higher proof, this whisky offers a more intense and concentrated experience, making it a favorite among enthusiasts who appreciate bold flavors. The higher alcohol content also helps to preserve the intricate balance of flavors, providing a fuller and more complex profile.
On the nose, this whisky presents a rich tapestry of aromas, including smoky peat, maritime influences, and a hint of citrus. The palate is equally compelling, with layers of smoky sweetness, a touch of vanilla, and a subtle spiciness that adds depth and character. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lasting impression of peat smoke and a gentle sweetness.
This whisky is an excellent choice for those who enjoy peated expressions but are looking for something with a bit more punch. Its complexity and depth make it suitable for sipping neat, but it can also be enjoyed with a splash of water to open up its flavors. Whether you're a seasoned whisky drinker or a novice, this bottle offers a rewarding and memorable experience.
