Port Askaig is an independent Islay brand from Elixir Distillers — the component malt is undisclosed but is Islay-distilled single malt. The 8 Year Old provides genuine Islay peat character at a price below most distillery-branded offerings.
The undisclosed source provides genuine Islay peat and maritime character. Eight years give enough maturation for balance without mellowing the youthful energy of the peat.
Port Askaig 8 is one of the best-value Islay malts available. The peat character is genuine, the maritime influence real, and the price democratic. Essential affordable Islay.
