- Description
- Port Askaig's Batch 2 cask-strength release combines Islay's signature peat character with the influence of oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, creating a rich and complex profile. Bold smoke lifts notes of marmalade, salted caramel, and fresh lime, while the 59.1% ABV delivers concentrated intensity without losing balance. The texture is full and warming, with the sherry casks adding depth and fruit complexity to the maritime peat. Ideal for those seeking a no-compromise peated Scotch with added richness from quality sherry maturation.
