The youngest age-statement release in the Port Askaig range of single malts from undisclosed Islay distilleries

Port Askaig er navnet på en lille havneby på Islays østkyst. Nær byen ligger Caol Ila destilleriet, som er Islay største destilleri. Caol Ila maltwhiskyen er kendt for sin frugtede karakter og støvede tørvesmag. Fra Port Askaig kan kystlinjen på den nærliggende Isle of Jura skimtes på en klar dag. Det er denne kystlinje der er motivet på etiketten på Port Askaig aftapningerne.

The single malts of Islay are arguably Scotland 's most talked about whiskies and are recognised for their sweet, fruity flavours and smoky, peaty character. Port Askaig is a range of single Islay malt Scotch whiskies that achieves the perfect balance of these flavours and embodies the unique spirit of Islay and its people.

The range has been developed to appeal to the novice whisky drinker while meeting the demands of the most discerning of whisky connoisseurs. In selecting the source distillery, we chose what we believe is the most perfectly balanced Islay single malt and created a range that, in time, will become recognised as a true Islay classic.

In a world of change and innovation, there is still a place for the tried and tested approach. The traditional yet contemporary look of the packaging and expert cask selection will ensure Port Askaig can stand side by side with Islay’s more established brands. Remaining true to the practice of the early 1900’s, we bottle Port Askaig 17 & 25 year old at Imperial 80 proof (today’s 45.8%vol) and Cask Strength at Imperial 100 proof (57.1%vol)
