Port Askaig 8 Year

Nose: smoke, BBQ smoke, hickory smoke, iodine, citrus, bacon Palate: smoke, great brine, vanilla, citrus, burnt caramel, cured meat, malty Finish: vanilla, peat smoke, pepper

Pale color. Smoke and brine on the nose. Oily and creamy mouthfeel. Vanilla and smoke flavors dominant to me. Long smoky finish with some slight pepper. Pretty good.

Sweet with smokey flavor that lingers.

Initial nose was paint thinner, but opened up with a bit of water and changed to more of a smokey iodine smell. Body is full of spice with a bit of lemon. Very spicy finish with a nice heat that's not too overwhelming. Was expecting more harshness for an 8. (Advent calendar day 4.)

Smoky and peaty. Young. Slight sweetness when the smoke subsides. Good nose, a bit harsh on the front of your tongue. Nice warmth. Reminds me of lagavulin 8 yr.

Peaty with a little bite. Ashy. Good dram for a cold day. Not much color. Very tasty.

Smells of peat salt, tastes caramel peat little burn pepper at the end

Smokey, Medicinal and lemon on the nose. Spicey taste of grass, but also sweet. Easy drinking for a young Islay.

Thin and young, but I like the balance of smoke and sweetness.
