Volume: 0.7 liters | Alcohol content: 54.5% | Non-chill-filtered | No coloring
Palate: Rich, smoky, and smooth. Candied orange slices and pieces of candied ginger dipped in dark chocolate. Muscovado sugar syrup creates a sticky, dark drizzle over ginger cake with dates against a backdrop of sweet peat smoke and dried autumn fruits.
Finish: Syrupy toffee and smoky black tea, sweetened with dark brown sugar. Long, sweet, full, and smoky-spicy finish.
The new Core Range from Elements of Islay
For Elements of Islay, Elixir Distillers select whiskies from all active and partially inactive Islay distilleries. The bottlers compose their delicious elemental blends from casks of varying ages, sometimes from different distilleries. The goal: to capture the full spectrum of the island's malt whiskies, with their medicinal, peaty, and maritime character.
For lasting enjoyment, the Islay periodic table is growing: From now on, the limited small batch bottlings in apothecary bottles will be joined by standard bottlings – in 700ml bottles.
The newly created Core Range consists of a blended malt trio. The Elements of Islay Cask Edit, composed of refill, bourbon, and sherry casks, combines intense, smoky single malt from Islay's south coast with a fresher, fruitier style from the north. Matured in first-fill and refill bourbon casks, the Elements of Islay Bourbon Cask, at 54.5% ABV, combines classic, bold BBQ smoke from a south coast Islay distillery with more subtle, spicy flavors from the north coast.
The Elements of Islay Sherry Cask is also bottled in a more robust style. In first-fill and refill sherry butts and hogsheads, Islay single malt from the south coast blends with aromas of dried fruit and dark chocolate, and Islay single malt from the north coast blends with spicy, maritime notes and lemon oil.
Tasting Notes
Nose: The scent of tobacco in an empty sandalwood cigar box. This is complemented by the maritime, smoky aroma of smoked fish (Arbroath smokie), aromatic notes of lemon oil, ginger root, and a hint of menthol.Palate: Rich, smoky, and smooth. Candied orange slices and pieces of candied ginger dipped in dark chocolate. Muscovado sugar syrup creates a sticky, dark drizzle over ginger cake with dates against a backdrop of sweet peat smoke and dried autumn fruits.
