Elements of Islay Bourbon Cask - Islay Blended Malt

Special features: This blended malt comes from the Core Range of Elements of Islay, created by Elixir Distillers. The bottling combines single malts from various active and partially inactive distilleries on the Scottish island of Islay. It has been matured exclusively in first-fill and refill bourbon casks, which strongly shapes the character of the whisky. With 54.5% vol., it is a more powerful variant with intense peat smoke, combining the smoky style of the south coast with the spicy nuances of the north coast of Islay.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Sweet hints of vanilla pods and sugar bowl, accompanied by vanilla-amber scented candles, fresh tropical fruits, and spicy coal smoke.
• Palate: Opens with notes of cocoa-dusted cappuccino, warm brioche with vanilla pudding, and zesty fruits in maple syrup, followed by a buttery glaze on vanilla muffins.
• Finish: Long-lasting creamy vanilla meets distinctive peat smoke.

Distillery/Bottler: Behind Elements of Islay is Elixir Distillers, an independent bottler based in Scotland, specializing in the careful selection of Islay whiskies. The goal is to represent the multifaceted profile of the island from medicinal-malty notes to intense peat smoke, thus making the versatility of Islay single malts accessible to a wide audience.
