100° Proof Whisky
Customer Rating
“What a bottle! If you have a few simple boxes to tick when choosing a bottle for the first time, and if these few details describe some of your search criteria: Smoke ; Layers of meat, complexity and a big hitting cask strength, then you need to buy a bottle. It's awesome plus, excellent value for money too. ”

Description
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).
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Earthy smoke rises first, shortly followed by smoked meats, citrus peels and a heaped spoonful of brown sugar.
Palate
Zesty lemon and lime, paired with ground cumin, Smiths Bacon Fries and a touch of apple juice.
Finish
Rather long and enjoyably soot-y.
