Scotland
Sherry
The second Fèis Ìle exclusive from Elements of Islay, following Beach Bonfire in 2023. For 2024, the head blender was inspired by the idea of sipping a smoky dram, fireside with friends, after being caught in an Islay downpour. Which will be a familiar sensation for many who have attended the festival over the years. Fireside is a blended malt of Scotch from two distilleries on Islay’s north coast, matured in heavily re-charred hogsheads, American oak oloroso sherry hogsheads, and European oak oloroso sherry butts. It was bottled at a big 54.5% ABV and you can expect notes of rich red fruit, candied orange, and bonfire smoke.
