- Description
- Elixir Distillers' seventh Elements of Islay release married three sherry hogsheads with one ex-bourbon barrel, creating a 60.4% ABV expression distilled in 2001. The marriage approach and high sherry influence produce a rich, weighty dram built on dark fruits and chocolate rather than typical Islay smoke and brine. The cask-strength proof ensures the complexity remains vivid on the palate. For Islay drinkers seeking depth and richness over traditional peat-forward character.
