Port Askaig 8 Year Old is an Islay single malt produced by independent bottler Specialty Drinks Ltd., sourcing from an undisclosed distillery on the island. It is aged in refill American oak casks and bottled at 45.8% ABV. The whisky retails for around $55-65.
The finish is rather mild, and shorter than expected given some of the rougher characteristics up front. That’s perhaps the best way out for Port Askaig 8 — though it comes at the expense of memorability.
