About this bottle

There are less than a dozen distilleries on Islay and one of them supplies the juice under the Port Askaig label owned by Specialty Drinks, an independent bottler based in the UK. The company remains tight-lipped on which one, though. Like the 15 Year expression it replaces, this is a vatting of single malts that have aged in both ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks and has come of age on its sweet 16. It is bottled at 45.8% ABV and was released in October 2015.

Soba45 3.5

I wouldn't say I'm a betting man largely because I bet on horses infrequently and badly. On this whiskey I would bet my house it's Caol Ila. It's nice, pleasant, agreeable but not exciting. Mild CI profile peat, vanilla etc. If you've drunk the 12 you know what I mean. It's very much like ground hog day with most bourbon barreled CI's for me (although some are definitely a step ahead than others). At $100 this is 3.5 for me. I'd plum for the 18 yr CI for a bit more $ but a lot better.
