PORT ASKAIG 12 ans Autumn Edition

$155.00

Can you recognize the distillery behind this single malt with its rich and silky character? Distilled in 2008 and matured in Oloroso sherry casks, this Port Askaig 12 Year Old Autumn Edition strikes a balance between the robustness of peat and the smoothness of its chocolatey texture. Port Askaig is a range of Islay single malts that embodies the unique spirit of the island and its inhabitants. Nestled on the north coast of the island, Port Askaig has been the gateway to the island for hundreds of years. It was therefore a natural choice for Elixir Distillers to name their iconic brand after this magical place. Although there is no distillery in Port Askaig, it allows them to specially select casks from surrounding distilleries and create different expressions.
