Launched in 2015, the Port Askaig 100° Proof is a big, smoky single malt Scotch whisky from an undisclosed Islay distillery. This is bottled at 57.1% ABV - which is 100° Proof in a traditional system of alcohol content measurement (different from 100 proof, which you're much more likely to see on American bottlings).
Earthy smoke rises first, shortly followed by smoked meats, citrus peels and a heaped spoonful of brown sugar.
Zesty lemon and lime, paired with ground cumin, Smiths Bacon Fries and a touch of apple juice.
Rather long and enjoyably soot-y.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Remarkably easy to drink. Great peaty flavour.
Wow this is a great dram nice and smokey and very easy to drink this is a very good whisky one of the best I've had in 2020 get it while you can and a very good price cheers
Absolutely loved it is a nice dram to savour and sit and reminisce with
Save me another bottle please!
Great smokey taste, with some subtle nuisances that make it stand out from your normal islay peat. Slightly lighter than most smokey whiskies.
