Elements of Islay, a range of small batch, independently bottled whiskies, is where the elements of flavour collide. Every sip of ‘Elements of Islay’ is a true taste of Islay. The new range has been inspired by the flavour, smell and taste of nature on Islay and all that it bestows.
The core range comprises three permanent expressions: Cask Edit, Bourbon Cask and Sherry Cask. These are complemented by limited edition single malt bottlings from individual Islay distilleries identified with periodic symbols and batch numbers.
Sherry Cask
Part of the new core trilogy of blended malt from Elements of Islay, released in 2022, Sherry Cask has been matured in a blend of first-fill and refill sherry butts, bottled at a delicious 54.5% ABV with natural colour and without chill-filtration.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Woody notes of cedar and aromatic pipe tobacco lead to smoked herbs, waxed lemons, and earthy tea.
Palate: Chewy dates and raisins, crystalised ginger, and dark chocolate almonds. Syrupy plums and zesty dried orange lead to sweet smoke and cakey spice.
Finish: Burnt sugar and earthen oak, fragrant peat, and tobacco linger, with prickles of pepper to see things off.
