Element Fusion Series R/1.0, 43%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2025 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Irish Whiskey
Blended from single malt and grain whiskeys matured in bourbon, virgin American oak, oloroso sherry, and seasoned stout casks, the aromas are redolent of chocolate cake, thick cream, dried raspberry, red cherry, oak spices, red apple, and fruit Life Savers. The thick creamy mouthfeel continues, but flavor development is limited on the palate, with milk chocolate, baked fruit, citrus peel, caramel, and a hint of grape- fruit, ahead of a malty, chocolaty finish.
