Portrait: What defines the Port Askaig Sherry Cask Quarter.
Lumping aromas of fruit and spice, balanced by peat and tarred ropes: As is customary for the gateway to the Isle of Islay, the Port Askaig Sherry Cask Quarter pays homage to the unique flavors of the Hebridean island. Port Askaig single malts are real “mystery malts”. So the distillery behind the exclusive bottling for the German market remains in the dark. Only so much can be revealed: It is a distillery from the north of the popular whisky region.
The Port Askaig Sherry Cask Quarter is a small batch limited to 1,296 bottles -Filling. The Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured until March 17, 2023 and was combined from three American Oak Hogsheads and a Sherry Hogshead. The Andalusian cask content turns the peaty-maritime whiskey into a summery-fruity dram for Islay fans, which - neither chill-filtered nor colored - unfolds at a crunchy 57.1% volume.
Tasting Notes: This is what the Port Askaig Sherry Cask Quarter tastes like
- Nose: intense aromas of sweet berry compote, plus plums, dates and figs
- Palate: full, almost oily mouthfeel - ripe, black cherries and ripe berries, plus spicy notes - above all, damp ship's lines soiled with tar
- Finish: long and smooth with notes of heavily roasted coffee and burnt caramel
