The port town of Port Askaig is the gateway to the whisky island of Islay. For hundreds of years, it has offered fans of the water of life and curious explorers access to the whisky region of the same name - and to its unmistakable single malts. A strong smoky, peaty taste paired with sweet, fruity aromas - that is typical of many of the famous Islay whiskies. And it is precisely this that the independent bottler Port Askaig has made its mission. Its goal: Islay single malts that capture the unique character of the island - with smoky notes, associations of salty sea breeze and a hint of seaweed. There are currently nine active distilleries in the Islay whisky region. Where the Port Askaig bottlings come from is unknown - despite many rumors and speculations. In 2009, the well-known whisky expert Sukhinder Singh founded the Port Askaig brand. He recently pointed out that he now works with three different Islay distilleries for his whiskies. Which exactly remains his secret. The taste of the Port Askaig whiskies is typical of the Islay single malts: the peat used to dry the malt provides light to strong smoky aromas. And also the typical maritime notes with hints of seaweed - which emerge when the peat cut on Islay is burned. In order to preserve the authentic character of the distillates, the bottlings are neither colored nor chill-filtered. Many of the Port Askaig batches are also limited.
