Elements of Islay Cask Edit, 46%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2023 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
Matured in bourbon and sherry casks, this marries aromas of sweet vanilla, apricot, and sooty peat smoke with dry notes of dark wood, leather, chocolate, dried seaweed, and ground pepper. This is definitely one for those who prefer sweeter whiskies, with honeyed fresh orchard fruit, rum-and-raisin fudge, sherry, golden syrup, and supportive spices that endure as the sweetness fades in the finish.
