Port Askaig 8 Review | The Neckpour | WhiskyWars 

You’re more than welcome! 🙏

Agreed!

You’re very kind

Haha, I can’t wait to record that one! 🤞

I think you will love it Christine! But don’t over pay for it, I think I’m going to do a war with this against the Lagavulin 8 soon, but so far, I’m a huge fan of this port askaig. It reminds me a little of the Lagavulin but much more medicinal. I think it’s a little underrated. Thank you for watching :)

​@@WhiskyWarsit would be great 👍 i remember review at Dramface while ago. They said Port Askaig smashed Laga 8. its un believable bacause Laga 8 is soo good. Didnt try Port Askaig 8 yet because most of opinions tip Port Askaig as a winner so i couldnt decide which one buy at first even i seen Port Askaig 8 with 2 Glencairn glasses for £40 🤦‍♂️.

That’s a great price!

Same here to be honest but I’m so happy that I know have that mood in a whisky so that when I want medicinal, I think this is the first whisky I will think of to fill that need. I think it’s underrated. Thanks for stopping by :)

Very strangely, I’ve just seen a couple of written reviews online and they say it lacks medicinal notes so someone here is clearly clueless and that totally could be me! But every time I have this whisky, I just get sweet boiled vegetables, sweet seaweed and sweet medicinal notes every time and weirdly I do get sweet medicinal notes in a caol Ila too but this port askaig seems less light and floral/honey and more of the above with ash but they both share that sweetness and even medicinal quality but this one is so strong in that note for me but clearly this is a very controversial opinion for some reason. If you get it, I’d love to hear your opinion on it! Amazing prices on the scarabus’. I’ve yet to try them but one of my viewers swears by it so it’s definitely on my list for the future

Thanks! Oh good idea. I also have the ardbeg 8 so maybe I could do that too

​@@WhiskyWarsits definitely for...discussion 😅👍🥂🙋🏻‍♂️

Ah very interesting! This 8yo is very sweet but in a very weird way, sweet boiled vegetables, sweet seaweed and sweet medicinal notes. Very different from what I’m used to but I love it for that. I agree though, it seems they are very different, more different than what I thought they would be (100/8yo) Hmm.. haha I will record this video next week, I can’t wait actually. Let’s see if you’re right on that!

@@WhiskyWars That review is going to be very intresting. I'm glad I picked up two Lag 8 when I had the chance. It's currently not availlable, so I still have one unopened. Touching on price, the Lag 8 is £44 here and PA 8 is £60, so I can imagine that is an advantage for Lag 8, that also have 2,2% more ABV.

@PezrulezHaakon oh I see! So the PA would have to be a lot better to make it worthwhile for you

@@WhiskyWars Yes, PA 8 have to take me behind the shed to be a contestant to Lag 8 when it comes to value 🤗

That’s sounds like fun! Yeah I’m very impressed as well. I’ll need to pick some more up in the future
