Reviews for Port Askaig 100° Proof
Sublime
My or one of my favorites,imagine Ardbeg 10yr old,Berry Brothers Islay Reserve,with even more flavor.This is,in my opinion the epitome of Islay,the contrasts are indeed sublime.Powerful and delicate!

Zesty & Sweet with a smoky palate and finish.
For me, being a confirmed Islay drinker:
The nose was much lighter than expected, smoke and peat present but balanced, sweet, fruit, citrus, light apple.
Palate - sweet citrus at the front of the mouth, leading to a burst of smoke and peat (nowhere near say laphroig 10 or corryvreckan but still making a presence), and sweet strong treacle tart!
Finish is lingering and pleasurable - more typical of an Islay malt than the palate.
Not a "big gun" but nicely balanced, sweet and enjoyable!

As good as it gets
It's very pale, not a lot when nosed but the taste comes crashing through.
My guests all asked for refills, so that's a good sign !

Smoky and sweet
I like a peaty Whisky, now and again. Took a change and ordered, and I am not disappointed at all. looking at purchasing more in the near future. I love it.

Good, not perfect though
It's does taste like a BBQ in your mouth, and it goes straight to the head. It doesn't quite rival Smokehead Sherrybomb for me, and its almost clear appearance left ne having to argue with friends that it is intact a whisky. It wasn't a bad drink, but its not one I'll rush to buy again.
