Port Askaig 12 Years Old Spring Edition

Port Askaig 12 Year Old Spring Edition is an Islay single malt comprised of distillate from 2006 and 2007, matured for over 12 years to create a whisky with aromas of peated malt, zesty lemon oil, and a maritime minerality, leading to flavours of lemon sherbet, key lime pie, sooty smoke, and toffee-led sweetness.

Port Askaig is a range of Islay single malts produced by Elixir Distillers, named after the small ferry terminal on the northeast coast of Islay. The expressions present single malt from one of Islay’s distilleries without disclosing the specific source, focusing on the characteristic Islay peat smoke and maritime profile. The Spring Edition celebrates the lighter and more citrus-forward dimension of the Islay peat character, complementing the characteristic minerality with fresh lemon and lime notes.
