PORT ASKAIG 16 ans 2008 Itinéraires

$280.00

Dedicated to the whiskies of the Isle of Islay, the Port Askaig range was created in 2009 by Sukhinder and Rajbir Singh, owners of Elixir Distillers. This edition highlights the Caol Ila distillery, located near the port in northern Islay. Perfectly embodying the peated and iodine-rich character for which this single malt is renowned, it transports us into a vividly expressive maritime world. With charming ambivalence, its aromatic and flavour palette is punctuated by rustic and fruity nuances that bring remarkable charm and freshness.

Description

Nose: Both refined and heady. Medicinal and mineral notes (chalk), iodine (sea spray), salt, delicate smoke, pear, and vanilla unfold side by side, offering two equally captivating dimensions. As it breathes, aromas of fleur de sel and shellfish are gradually wrapped in a subtle veil of herbal liquorice.

Palate: Unctuous and creamy. Flavours of cut hay and lucerne deliver outstanding freshness to the palate. A sprinkle of wildflowers (dandelion, daffodil, snowdrop) and a touch of sea spray complete the ensemble. Here, the peat has absorbed even more coastal mineral salts.

Overall: Delicately silky. In a stunning synthesis of nose and palate, the finish evokes a beach strewn with seaweed and kelp at low tide. Adding a poetic flourish, soft smoke rings from a gentle Havana cigar drift through this serene and sunlit maritime scene.
