Few independent bottlers have a better reputation for securing Islay's finest single casks than Specialty Drinks Ltd. Responsible for the much lauded "Elements of Islay" series, they also offer a range named after a fishing harbour off Islay's East coast, "Port Askaig". Made from cherry-picked casks sourced from Islay's largest - and many would say, consistently best distillery - the 2020 Spring limited edition is another example confirming Caol Ila truly is this bottler's forte: a seamless amalgam of eighteen ex-bourbon hogsheads filled in 2006 and 2007, it promises all the smoke-infused barley, creamy vanillas and perfectly tuned maritime peat you expect from Caol Ila at its brilliant best. 5000 bottles only in this release. Jim Murray waxed lyrical about this release scoring it an impressive 95.5/100.
