The Port Askaig 10 Years Old Toasted Barrel is a limited-edition Islay single malt from Elixir Distillers that impressively reflects the rugged character of Scotland's west coast. Ten years of maturation in heavily toasted oak casks lend it remarkable depth, where robust peat smoke blends with warm, sweet, and spicy wood aromas.
This single malt is primarily aimed at discerning connoisseurs, who will best appreciate it neat or with a splash of water. Its intense aromas pair perfectly with hearty dishes such as smoked fish, grilled meats, or mature cheeses, and it culminates in a long, peaty, warming finish that leaves a lasting impression of the quintessential Islay character.
What does Port Askaig 10 Years Old Toasted Barrel 2014 taste like?
On the nose, an intense peat smoke is evident, characterized by maritime notes such as salt, seaweed, and glowing ash. These are complemented by sweet notes of caramel and vanilla, as well as hints of roasted nuts, which add further depth to the aroma.
On the palate, the whisky is powerful and full-bodied. Smoky impressions combine with dark sugar, delicate spices, and a vibrant citrus freshness. A subtle oak spice provides structure, while the texture is slightly oily and pleasantly rich.
The finish is long, warming, and distinctly smoky. Salty-sweet accents meet woody nuances and linger harmoniously and intensely.
