Port Askaig Cask Strength Islay Single Malt – 750mL

Unleash the raw spirit of Islay with Port Askaig Cask Strength Islay Single Malt, a bold, small-batch Scotch whisky from the rugged shores of Scotland’s whisky island. Bottled by Elixir Distillers, this unapologetically smoky single malt is crafted from carefully selected casks (no more than 60 per batch) of an undisclosed Islay distillery, widely believed to be Caol Ila. Matured in a mix of

first-fill toasted Bourbon barrels and refill American oak hogsheads, it’s bottled at a robust 59.4% ABV without chill filtration or coloring, preserving its untamed character.

This cask-strength expression erupts with aromas of peat smoke, lemon sorbet, and hot coals, layered with maritime salt and caramelized malt. On the palate, it’s rich and mouth-coating, delivering smoldering peat, cracked black pepper, and toasted barley, with hints of lime zest and charred oak. The finish is long and warming, with lingering smoke, brine, and toffee richness. Perfect for sipping neat with a splash of water or in a bold Penicillin cocktail, this whisky is a gateway to Islay’s soul.
