PORT ASKAIG 25YR ISLAY SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY 750ML @ Deerfoot Meadows [1042215]

Initially a coal smoke character, complemented by tropical fruits like pineapple, lychee and guava juice. With water, there’s a mellow blend of garden florals, peach, cherry and burnt matchsticks. Palate: More meaty on the palate; a charcuterie board of pastrami, saucisson, salty rye crackers and chargrilled vegetables with olive oil. There’s also soft leather, oatmeal with grated nutmeg, walnuts and grapefruit with a sprinkling of white pepper. Finish: Vegetal notes continue, accompanied by herbs including thyme and bay leaf. The warmth lingers, like dry woodsmoke from a log fire.
