Port Askaig 16 Year
Single Malt
Port Askaig // Scotland
There are less than a dozen distilleries on Islay and one of them supplies the juice under the Port Askaig label owned by Specialty Drinks, an independent bottler based in the UK. The company remains tight-lipped on which one, though.
Like the 15 Year expression it replaces, this is a vatting of single malts that have aged in both ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks and has come of age on its sweet 16. It is bottled at 45.
