About Elements of Islay
The Elements of Islay are a range of iconic, small-batch, expertly sourced independently bottled whiskies. The Limited Edition range consists of single malt bottlings from individual Islay distilleries identified with periodic symbols and batch numbers (Lp1, Ar2, and so on). They are bottled either as single casks or as small batches between 3 and 20 carefully selected casks. These expressions celebrate the distilleries’ individual character while presenting a balanced and characterful whisky bottled at full proof.
This 2nd Elements of Islay bottling is a vatting of four first fill bourbon barrels from 2004. Margadale, the peated version from Bunnahabhain, shows a more intense side to the distillery’s sweet and rich notes.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich custard with aniseed, stem ginger and a background note of coastal smoke. Thicker notes of banana with toasted vanilla pods emerge.
Palate: Thick and oily, accompanied by flavours of orange juice and cigar smoke. Oak sweetness and spice develops, creating tones of sherbet dipped liquorice.
Finish: Clean and fresh. Grilled green apples slowly fade.
