Port Askaig 17 Years – Limited Edition (2023)
Port Askaig 17 Years – Limited Edition 2023 (50.5%)
This Port Askaig 17 Years is a limited edition Islay single malt that immediately makes clear why this brand has such a cult following among lovers of peat, smoke, and finesse.
The 2023 edition is entirely non-chill filtered , bottled at 50.5% ABV , and with no added colourings — pure and authentic, just as Islay meant to be.
The nose offers a beautiful combination of wildflowers, soft peat smoke, and coastal air . This is followed by a rich layer of flavor with toasted oak , citrus zest, warm spices, and an elegant smoke that never becomes overpowering.
The finish is long, smoky, with again that typical Islay character.
