Released as part of a new trilogy of core drams in the Elements of Islay series, this delightful expression has been crafted from Islay single malt matured in first fill and refill bourbon casks, then bottled at a higher strength of 54.5% vol. A flavour profile of coal smoke, tropical fruit and maple syrup!
Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
Sweet aromas rise from a sugar jar with vanilla pods. The fragrance of vanilla-and- amber scented candles fills the air, along with fresh tropical fruits. Faint puffs of chimney coal smoke linger.
Palate
A chocolate-dusted cappuccino, warm vanilla-custard brioche and maple-syrup- poached tangy fruits appear, along with a roaring peat fire. Butter icing on vanilla cupcakes follows next.
Finish
Sweet, creamy vanilla with a hint of peat smoke.
