Bourbon Cask - Elements of Islay | 700ML

An ongoing member of the Elements of Islay series, this blended malt Scotch whisky has been treated to a stay in a combination of first-fill and refill ex-bourbon barrels. Bottled at a robust 54.5% ABV, it showcases a superb balance of smoky, zesty Islay character.

Bourbon Cask - Elements of Islay | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Quite tropical with notes of pineapple and banana, vanilla sugar, and fragrant oak. Snuffed candle and oily embers surface from afar.

Palate: Syrupy sponge cake, drizzled with citrus zest. Nutty maple brings a rich depth, with hefty peat smoke rising from the core, softened by chocolate chip cookies and vanilla cream.

Finish: Crème brûlée ties things up, while the smoke tails off sweetly.

Distillery Information

Created in 2008 by London’s Elixir Distillers, Elements of Islay aims to celebrate the best of Islay whisky, the most important of which, they say, is peat! These independent bottlings boast laboratory-style bottles adorned with periodic table inspired labelling, where each distillery has its own element symbol. This pays homage to the ‘elemental’ character possessed by Islay malt whiskies. The bottle used is even called a ‘pharmacy’, though apparently that was completely coincidental.
