Part of the Elements of Islay series from Speciality Drinks, Cask Edit joins the collection as an ongoing release. Islay blended malt Scotch whisky is matured in a combo of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, imparting enticing layers of fruit and nuts, buttery pastry, and roasted coffee to the softly smoky malt at the core.
Charred oak and candied nuts, with heaps of fresh orchard fruits, are followed by soft praline and creamy vanilla. Delicate peat smoke floats seamlessly throughout.
Woody caramel opens the way for fresh almond croissants and robust roasted coffee beans. A dusting of pebbly petrichor mingles with earthen vanilla and distant bonfire smoke.
Things remain fresh and fruity towards the end, with elegant smoke and sweet spice lingering.

Islay malts are diverse and all of them superb. So, no surprise then that this cask blend is big on taste, long in flavour. Terrific, character whisky.
