This single cask bottling of a 12-year-old Port Askaig from an unnamed Islay distillery was specially produced for Kirsch Import. The whisky was distilled in 2008, matured in an ex-sherry butt and was bottled at cask strength in 2020.
Port Askaig is a small village and port on the island of Islay. As a whisky, however, this is a mystery malt from an unknown distillery, but probably from Caol Ila.
Islay is the most famous of the Scotch whisky islands. It is often referred to as the queen among them. The majority of Islay's single malts have a wonderfully peaty, smoky, strong flavour - flavours for which Islay whisky is so loved.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
