There is a new kid on the block: Port Askaig, a brand from Specialty Drinks (a sister company of The Whisky Exchange). A few weeks ago, the first three expressions were launched: a 17 year-old, a 25 year-old and a younger cask strength version.
They are single Islay malts, which means they’re produced at the same distillery on Islay. There are no official clues about the name of the distillery, but it should be easy because there’s only one distillery really close to the village of Port Askaig…
There’s a good review of the 17yo on Tim’s TWE blog, so I’ll be reviewing the other two for now, starting tomorrow with the Port Askaig Cask Strength.

This blog is my personal collection of impressions, written while searching for the ultimate single malt whisky.
