Port Askaig 8 Year Old
The latest release from Port Askaig. An excellent 8-year-old single malt Scotch whisky sourced from undisclosed distilleries on the island of Islay. This pleasantly smoky and elegant whisky is a great introduction to the Port Askaig range. It is suitable for the most discerning connoisseurs and beginners alike.
The whisky has been created by blending a number of single malt whiskies that have been matured in selected ex-bourbon casks, toasted American oak casks, ex-sherry casks and Hogsheads. As a result, it has subtle, smoky aromas.
To preserve the full structure of the whisky, it is made without chill-filtration or colouring. The bottles are filled with an alcohol content of 45,8 %.
