Port Askaig 45 Years Whisky

Port Askaig 45 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a rare and magnificent Islay release from the independent bottler Elixir Distillers. Aged for 45 years, it was drawn from five sherry butts that were married together for their final year of maturation, and bottled at a natural strength of 40.8% ABV.

The nose is wonderfully fruity, delivering apples, pears, papaya and mango. On the palate, the profile evolves into bittersweet orange, fleshy mango and a wave of warming spice, cleverly contrasted with fresh mint and green tea. The finish is long and evolving, with the fruit gently fading into leafy herbs before culminating in a minty warmth. This single malt is a true collector's piece, showcasing the elegance achievable in a well-aged Islay whisky.
