The Port Askaig 17yo ElD American Oak is a distinguished limited edition whisky from the renowned Islay region, crafted by Elixir Distillers. Aged for 17 years in American oak casks, this whisky presents a remarkable blend of floral and fruity notes, which is atypical for an Islay whisky. On the nose, it exudes intense aromas of olive brine, oyster water, cold ashes, fresh newspapers, ink, bright lemon juice, zesty citrus, fresh grass, menthol, eucalyptus, and darker bonfire smoke. The palate unveils a symphony of warming coal smoke, herbal notes, dark chocolate ganache, hints of worn leather, salted caramel, seashells, a delightful saltiness, mocha, walnut skins, mineral sharpness, subtle fruitiness, and sweet herbs. With an ABV of 50.5%, this whisky is non-chill filtered and carries a natural color, reflecting its authentic craftsmanship. Limited to only 9000 bottles, this 17-year-old expression from Port Askaig strikes a perfect balance between vivacity and maturity, showcasing exceptional blending prowess.
