Elixir Distillers Adds New Port Askaig 12-Year-Old Scotches
Elixir Distillers recently added not just one, but two new 12 year old, limited editions to their Port Askaig Scotch whisky series. Some of these have now been imported into the US via ImPex Beverages.
The Port Askaig 12-Year-Old Bourbon Cask (45.8% ABV) contains distillate from 2006 and 2007 from the northeast of Islay and has been matured for over 12 years in ex-Bourbon Hogsheads, allowing for what’s described by the brand as a sweet and unique flavor profile. Official tasting notes make mention that aromas of peated malt, lemon oil and sea breeze, flavors of lemon sherbet, key lime pie, stone fruits, sooty smoke and toffee can be found on the tongue, leading to a rich finish of barbecued Persian black lemon, dried mint leaves and smoked paprika.
