  • Port Askaig 110 Proof

    Single Malt — Islay, Scotland

    Nose is smokey, with an odd plasticy note that dissipated as it rested. Needed some water but in general smooth for the proof. Not a whole lot of character, but a nice dram.

    Lots of apples on the nose, with some honey too. Tastes of apples as well, with a bit of tartness/saltiness on the finish. Little there as far as complexity, but very drinkable, especially at 40%.

    Slight smoke, spicy pears on nose. Can also taste black tea and salt, with slight smokey meat on the finish. Very nice, would buy.

    Some bready/cereal, apple, and spice on the nose. Vanilla comes through on taste. Not a whole lot to say about this one, but that's not a bad thing. Some burn at the finish. Wouldn't buy per se unless cheap, but happy to drink it.

    Banana bread, apple juice, and white chocolate on the nose. More fruit and a little tanginess on the body. Very easy drinking. Would buy.

    Butterscotch, toffee, and apple juice on the nose. Taste has a bit of saltiness to it, with a tiny sourness on the aftertaste. Would never have guessed this was from Islay. Would buy, and makes me want to explore more of their range.

    62.5%!!! Holy cow. Added a bunch of water to bring it down to the 40s. Heavy acetone/nail polish remover on the nose, which is present in the body but slowly disappears. Body is rich, with a smooth finish. I can't quite get over the acetone, but otherwise a nice bourbon.

    Sweet honey, spice and heather on the nose. Body rich and full, with apple tartness on the finish. Really enjoyable bottle. Drinks smoother than it's 48% would indicate. Would have assumed Speyside.

    Not sure if I'm tasting the 2014 or a different year. Intensely smokey on the nose, but a different kind of smoke than I expect from Islay. It smells lighter, less earthier. Body is spicy and smooth, with a tangy finish. I like this a lot, and definitely want to try more from this distillery.

    A very nice, prototypical Speyside. Honey and apple pie on the nose, with more of a candied sweetness on the body. Finishes long and smooth, with a bit of tartness. 1-2: shots only 2-3: sippable 3-4: would buy again 4-5: permanent collection
