Another trip down to Porty, this time to have an evening of 'porty' whiskies: A port cask, a Port Askaig, a Portonova, a Westport and a Port Finish! We were fully in sup-port of this venture..

Smells
Beach bonfire. Concentrated twiglets. Salt taffee. Ancient citrus. Sweet smoke. Lemons! Kelp.
Tastes
Boozy curry. Dry white wine. Charred wood. I'm into this. Smoked custard. Lemony bangs. Toffee now, not taffee. THANKS OBAMA. Brine. Minty. More citrus - limes. Beef.
Finishes
Sweet smokey mmm. Long finish, sour limes. Salty. Salty.
Comments
Reminiscent of an element (lg?) bottle. Absolute beast. "Taffee"? WTF? Fishy in places, which is good. Wrong window.
Cost
