The Port Askaig 17, and Cask Strength, are the first new whiskies we have seen in this range in a couple of years. Bottled at 50.5% from a parcel of undisclosed Islay single malt matured in ex-Bourbon casks. Very good chance this is Caol Ila... but we'll have to taste it to be sure! 87.55pts Whiskybase

Peatheads, rejoice! For those searching for a fix of sharp, young peat and bucketloads of billowy smoke, look no further. Port Askaig is a wee ferry port off the east coast of the isle of Islay. Its proximity to two of the island's most unfairly overlooked distilleries should give some sort of clue as to the pedigree of this neat little treat of a dram. Your choices are either Caol Ila or Bunnahabhain, and let's just say the answer rhymes with Caol Ila (Do you know how hard it is to rhyme in Gaelic?!).
If you know the distillery's character you'll immediately be able to see it all over this one. A true value whisky too. 45.8% abv, uncolored and non-chill-filtered.
