Port Askaig 8 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky β 70cl
Port Askaig is Elixir Distillers' celebrated Islay single malt label β named after the small ferry terminal village on the northeastern shore of Islay where the Sound of Islay meets the Paps of Jura. Drawing on spirit from the northeastern part of the island, Port Askaig produces a characteristic style of lighter, more citrus-forward peat quite different from the heavier, more medicinal southern Islay distilleries. The 8 Year Old is the entry expression β , non-chill filtered, natural colour β delivering the characteristic Port Askaig combination of lighter peat, green fruit, citrus, and gentle medicinal notes in a young, vibrant, and immediately characterful form. An excellent introduction to northeastern Islay whisky available to buy online in Singapore from The Liquid Collection.
