Sherry Cask - Elements of Islay
A splendidly sherried Islay whisky here, joining the core collection from Elements of Islay. This blended malt Scotch combines whiskies from the north and south coasts of Islay, matured in a combo of first-fill and refill sherry butts and hogsheads. Bottled up at a hearty 54.5%, it boasts generous helpings of dried fruit, citrus zest, and cocoa richness alongside sweet, spicy smoke.
*UK and retail only, while stock lasts.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Woody notes of cedar and aromatic pipe tobacco lead to smoked herbs, waxed lemons, and earthy tea.
Palate
Chewy dates and raisins, crystalised ginger, and dark chocolate almonds. Syrupy plums and zesty dried orange lead to sweet smoke and cakey spice.
Finish
Burnt sugar and earthen oak, fragrant peat, and tobacco linger, with prickles of pepper to see things off.
