PORT ASKAIG 16 ans 2008 Itinéraires

$280.00

Created in 2009 by Sukhinder and Rajbir Singh of Elixir Distillers, the Port Askaig range is named after the small harbour on Islay’s north-eastern coast, one of the island’s historic gateways. This 16 Year Old 2008 showcases spirit from Caol Ila, the distillery closest to the port and renowned for its bright, coastal, gently smoky style. True to its origins, this single malt delivers a vivid immersion into Islay’s maritime world, combining sea spray and peat with fresh fruit and pastoral softness.

This bottling appears in La Maison du Whisky’s Itinéraires catalogue, a collection that highlights whiskies, rums and fine spirits chosen for how clearly they express their distillery style and regional identity. This 16 year old Port Askaig fits that approach perfectly, showcasing Caol Ila’s unmistakable coastal character: smoky, briny and bright, with the freshness that defines northern Islay.

Description

Tasting Notes

Nose: Heady yet delicate, with chalky minerality, iodine, saline spray, soft smoke and medicinal notes followed by lemon, pear and vanilla. With time, aromas of fleur de sel, shellfish and green liquorice emerge

Palate: Smooth and creamy, marked by freshly cut grass, alfalfa and subtle wildflowers. Sea spray lifts the profile, while the peat deepens into a mineral, shoreline character

Finish: Silky and serene, evoking a low-tide Islay beach scattered with seaweed and kelp. A final wisp of gentle Havana cigar smoke drifts through the maritime calm, bringing the whisky to an elegant close
