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.
Quite tropical with notes of pineapple and banana, vanilla sugar, and fragrant oak. Snuffed candle and oily embers surface from afar.
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.
Crème brûlée ties things up, while the smoke tails off sweetly.
This is tasty,really nice,definite sweetness,initially but not cloying,then the smokiness.I have only just bought this and my love of islay blends has another favorite.If you like Big Peat,and who doesn't, I think you will love this!
