Description

Like the previous version, this Port Askaig is a single malt aged in American oak casks. What’s new is the addition of aging in ex-Bourbon, Pedro Ximénez Sherry and Hogshead refill casks.

Tasting note

Nose

Well-fruited nose of apple, pear, stewed grapes and candied cherry. The almond is also present, but caramelized. The profile is fine and the woodiness delicate. The occasional whiff of alcohol is still noticeable.

Palate

Very peaty

Overall

Long, accomplished. Finely chocolaty, it is also rancid (cherry brandy, apricot liqueur). It evokes the harvesters’ baskets filled with golden bunches of the folle blanche grape variety. Retro olfaction oscillates between prune, vanilla and dark chocolate. The empty glass is roasted (tobacco, coffee).
