A well aged single malt from the Port Askaig range, produced in 1983 at a distillery that remains incognito. What we do know, however, is that the whisky spent 34 years in an American oak bourbon hogshead before it was bottled at a ripe 49.7% ABV. Though complex, this is a surprisingly fresh whisky for its age.
Malt biscuits, honeycomb, a dash of lemon juice and herbal aromas, all under a veil of bonfire smoke.
Viscous to the point of almost waxy, though lovely and sweet floral honey and butterscotch, leading into earthy peat smoke, a generous helping of cinnamon, malt and lemon peel, with a herbaceous hint and a touch of leather.
Both vegetal and medicinal notes are present, sage and eucalyptus fade as more honey and butterscotch return, and warming, earthy smoke lingers on the palate.
