Description
This cask of Port Askaig shone out to me amongst others tasted alongside. It displays supreme balance and Islay typicity. A reassuringly smoky nose envelops notes of leaf mulch and citrus skins. The palate is full of coastal tang, lime and toasted herbs, whilst the moreish finish is replete with manifold oils – citrus, olive and engine. A good-sized glass of this with an engrossing evening’s television and a little plate of cheese, please.
