Port Askaig 100° Proof

Light malt with a butter cookie aroma. Not a lot of smoke in the nose. Flavor is butterscotch, with a smoke back. Light cookie finish. Not a big smoke bomb, but enough to know you are in Islay.

EYE Pale straw NOSE Orchard fruit (peaches, pears, dried apples), smoke, malty sweetness, vanilla, honey, minerality and a touch of plastic. Young, crisp and bracing. It’s a slightly spirity aroma that makes me think “Caol Ila”. PALATE Minerality, smoke, dried fruit, lemon peels, vanilla cake and some malty sweetness with a bit of spice. Like the aroma, there is a spirity nature to it, but it works quite well here. It’s a punchy sharp little whisky. FINISH Long -> Smoke, honey, spice and minerality. BALANCE, BODY and FEEL Decent balance, med-full body, oily feel.

Evokes: a whole pig roasting on the spit over a massive bone fire.
