Port Askaig Cask Strength 2023 Whisky

Port Askaig Cask Strength Small Batch #01-2023 is a commanding Islay single malt from Elixir Distillers, showcasing the rugged character of the island. Bottled in 2023 at a natural cask strength of 59.4% ABV, it is non-chill filtered and of natural colour, delivering maximum flavour intensity and depth.

The cask selection of first-fill toasted bourbon barrels and refill American oak hogsheads creates layers of sweetness and zest, intertwined with the classic smoke of Islay. Expect floral and citrus aromas with hints of sea air and driftwood smoke, followed by vanilla sweetness, bonfire smoke and dark chocolate on the palate. The finish is long and smouldering, with lingering citrus. Enjoy it neat, adding a few drops of water to open up its raw, uncut intensity.
