Whisky Single Malt Port Askaig 8 Anni

The 8-year-old Single Malt Whisky from Port Askaig is one of those labels that, even tasted blindly, takes little time to reveal its origins and personality. Yes, because right from the start, it's not hard to notice the peaty and saline sensations that are common to whiskies produced on the Isle of Islay, the "queen of the Hebrides" beloved by enthusiasts of this spirit. Port Askaig reaffirms its ability to exclusively select the best batches made by various distilleries on the island, allowing this Single Malt to mature for eight years in American oak wood, giving life to a bottle of excellent quality.

The 8-year-old Port Askaig Single Malt Whisky is the result of careful selection work aimed at seeking out the finest productions that come to life on the Isle of Islay. In this case, the focus was on a batch made from the distillation of pure malted barley, left to mature for a period of eight years in American oak barrels. Port Askaig then proceeds with bottling, which, it's worth noting, does not involve any cold filtration or the addition of artificial colourants.

This 8-year-old Single Malt Whisky, bearing the signature of the Port Askaig distillery, presents itself in the glass with a deep and intense golden yellow colour. The bouquet of aromas that envelop the nose tells the typical scents of the Isle of Islay, with spicy and peaty sensations enriched by more iodized notes, from which a slight hint of lemon also emerges. On the palate, it makes a strong and muscular impact, moving on a savoury and maritime texture; it finishes with excellent persistence. A label with strong flavours dedicated to whisky enthusiasts who go crazy for peat.
