Product description

Product description
The village of Port Askaig is located on the north-east coast of the Isle of Islay. It is the village that has been considered the gateway to the island for hundreds of years. Barrels from a selected distillery on the island of Islay are chosen for the single malts from Port Askaig. The respective distillery is kept secret and can vary from bottling to bottling. The 8-year-old is the core of the Port Askaig brand range, which was created by Elixir Distillers, and matures in bourbon barrels, toasted American oak barrels, sherry butts, refill hogsheads and American oak casks.
