Port Askaig 12 Years Autumn Edition is a limited seasonal release celebrating the rich character of Islay single malt whisky. Named after the historic gateway village of Port Askaig on Islay's northeastern coast, this expression showcases the island's signature balance of maritime influence, gentle peat smoke, and complex maturation.
Carefully selected and matured for 12 years, the Autumn Edition offers a richer and more layered profile suited to the cooler months, combining smoky coastal notes with orchard fruits, warming spices, and oak complexity. Bottled at 45.8% ABV, it delivers depth and character while remaining approachable and elegant.
