Port Askaig 28 Year Old is a distinguished single malt Islay Scotch whisky, meticulously crafted by the esteemed independent bottler, Port Askaig. This exceptional whisky is drawn from a carefully selected batch of refill American oak hogsheads, aged for an impressive 28 years. The prolonged maturation has imparted a profound complexity to the whisky while preserving its distinct salty and peaty character. On the nose, it offers an enticing blend of smoky peat, roasted almonds, tea leaves, pine, and a subtle hint of fruit. The palate reveals layers of sweet orange peel, apple, custard, burnt oak, and sea salt. The finish is herbal and smoky, delivering a well-rounded and enduring taste experience. Bottled at a robust 45.8% ABV and non-chill filtered, this whisky is an excellent companion for a cozy evening by the fire. With a limited release of just 3,000 bottles in 2019, the Port Askaig 28 Year Old by Elixir Distillers is a rare gem for connoisseurs and collectors alike.
