The Port Askaig 10 Years Old Toasted Barrel Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 2014 57.8% Vol. 0.7 l is an Islay single malt with a strong character, released in a limited edition and bearing the unmistakable signature of the Scottish west coast. Bottled by Elixir Distillers, this whisky presents the pure essence of Islay – maritime, smoky and amazingly well-balanced at the same time.
Distilled in 2014 and matured for over ten years in toasted oak casks, Port Askaig 10 Years reveals an impressive depth and complexity. The use of toasted barrels – barrels that have been heated on the inside to intensify the wood and caramel flavours – gives this whisky warm, sweet and spicy notes that combine wonderfully with the typical Islay peat. Bottled in cask strength at a powerful 57.8% vol., it is presented in its natural form – not chill-filtered and without colouring agents – an expression of pure distillation artistry.

The Port Askaig 10 Years Toasted Barrel is a whisky for connoisseurs, which unfolds its full range on its own or with a few drops of water. Ideal with smoked salmon, grilled meat, matured cheese or dark chocolate, where its smoky-sweet flavours harmonise perfectly. An intense, authentic Islay single malt that reflects the wild coastal landscape in its flavour – deep, peaty and with a lingering finish that allows you to experience Islay in its purest form.
