Port Askaig is an independently bottled Islay single malt whisky brand, created by Sukhinder Singh, the founder of The Whisky Exchange and Elixir Distillers. Launched in 2009, the brand takes its name from a small harbour village on the east coast of Islay, perfectly evoking the rugged island character that defines these whiskies. Port Askaig is not a distillery in its own right, but rather a carefully curated label under the Specialty Drinks / Elixir Distillers portfolio. The Port Askaig range celebrates the distinctive spirit of Islay and its people, offering single malt whiskies that are frequently bottled at cask strength. The hallmark style is one of elegant peat, beautifully balanced with vibrant fruit notes — a signature that sets it apart from some of the more heavily smoked expressions the island is known for. The range spans various age statements, including impressive older expressions such as a 45-year-old bottling, showcasing the depth and complexity that patient maturation on Islay can achieve. As part of the wider Elixir Distillers family — which also includes Elements of Islay, The Single Malts of Scotland, and Black Tot rum — Port Askaig benefits from Sukhinder Singh's renowned expertise and deep connections within the Scotch whisky industry, making it a respected and sought-after name among independent bottling enthusiasts worldwide.
