Port Askaig 110 Proof

Smoke right away. You get a brine and salt note. Does not taste high proof, it’s been mellowed by the wood in a beautiful way. Once the smoke gives way, mint and a tiny bit of citrus slap you in the face. Whisky is thin and light in color. Not too oily. I love this whisky. Reminds me of Lagavulin a bit.

I like the peat but finish is a bit harsh

Smoother and less iodine than Laphroig 10 year, goes great with a few drips of water to lessen the bite

Very peated, a little harsh

Big smoke up front but smooth and spicy finish

Pours a pale gold with a strong, smoky nose, with a touch of citrus. Smoke is less prevalent in the flavor, but still a significant contribution. I really like the elevated proof of this one...not the most complex whisky, but with added potency in the bottling.
