About the Bottling

Named after the famous gateway to Islay, Port Askaig has earned a loyal following for showcasing high-quality whisky from an undisclosed island distillery. Rather than revealing the source, the range focuses on expressing the classic coastal style of Islay through careful cask selection and natural presentation. The 8 Year Old has become one of the range's signature bottlings, appreciated for delivering vibrant peat smoke with freshness and balance.
