- Description
- Elixir Distillers' cryptic bottling hints at maturation in Pedro Ximénez casks at an Islay distillery on the Kildalton coast, lending dark fruit and dried leather notes beneath the expected heavy peat. At 51.7% ABV and 19 years old, the whisky balances smoke and spice with rich sherry cask influence, creating a wine-like complexity rarely found in heavily peated drams. The finish is long, combining smoke, sweet raisins, and coastal salt. A theatrical release for those seeking peat with unexpected depth.
