Port Askaig 17 Year Old is the first iteration of what will become an annual limited edition release from the brand, with approximately 9000 bottles produced for the inaugural batch.
This cask strength whisky is matured for a minimum of 17 years in American oak casks, meticulously selected for their quality and character.
Port Askaig may have a new face, but it seems the quality is only improving as well! The 17 Year Old sits in a sweet spot between vivacity and maturity – great blending work!
This single malt will appear in yearly batches of around 9000 bottles.
Nose: Well balanced notes of wildflower meadows, fresh grass and vibrant citrus on the nose with a rising crescendo of bonfire smoke.
Palate: The palate features dark chocolate, salted caramel and vanilla wrapped with a briny.
Finish: Smouldering ash finish.
