Port Askaig 8 Year Old in Carton
The youngest release from Port Askaig. An excellent Scottish 8-year-old single malt whisky sourced from undisclosed distilleries on the Islay.
This pleasantly smoky and elegant whisky is a great introduction to the Port Askaig range. It is suitable for the most discerning connoisseurs as well as beginners.
The whisky is created by blending several single malt whiskies that have matured in selected ex-bourbon casks, toasted American oak casks, ex-sherry casks and Hogshead casks. This gives it delicate, smoky aromas.
To preserve the full structure of the whisky, it is made without chill filtration and coloring. The bottle comes in a minimalist brown gift box.
