Port Askaig 8 Year Old (Old Bottling)

An 8 year old single malt Scotch whisky from the Isle of Islay, bottled for Speciality Drinks' Port Askaig range. Enjoyably smokey and elegant - a neat introduction to the range.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Charcoal, salted crisps and a good squeeze of lemon.

Palate

Soft salted caramel brings a sweetness to the palate, with waves of coastal peat smoke crashing underneath.

Finish

Medium length, with a hot kick of peppercorn.

A fantastic introduction to Islay

I’m fairly new to the world of whisky, from being a kid and stealing sips of my dads Famous Grouse or a Jamesons to the teenager ordering a Jack and coke(needless to say my palate has evolved), I’ve always enjoyed the variety that whisky brings. From this I’ve explored what whisky and bourbon can offer. I’ve always found myself drawn to the Islays, there’s something about the Smokey salinity that appeals to me. For me this is a fantastic dram full of what I expect from an Islay Whisky. On first nosing it carries a good kick of smoke and sea air. A few drops of water goes a long way in opening up this dram, bringing out the sweetness and a grassy note. On taste the smoke is relentless but balanced well with sweet citrus. A pepper spice finishes the dram and leaves me wanting to go back for more. The only point I find lacking is the longevity in the finish. Anyway enough drivel from me. I like this whisky. Give it try for £40, I don’t think you can go wrong.

Good but not going to knock your socks off

Light, sweet, simple, peaty fairly accurate. Peppery charcoal finish.

Subtle and easy going peaty Islay

Light for a peaty one and easy to drink. Lacking in body and wholesomeness, but a reasonable Islay for the price.

Not my fav askaig, but OK for the buck.

Decent for the money

Master of Malt Customer Mar 18, 2021

Not bad at all.

Quite nice. Has a loverly smokey flavour. Better than expected. Not sure I'd buy this over lagavulin 16 but it makes a nice change I guess. Overall nice for the value
