Elements of Islay Cask Edit Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
"...I’m having a hard time putting this bottle down and I would wager that you would as well." - dramface.com
Elements of Islay Cask Edit is part of the new core range trilogy alongside Sherry Cask and Bourbon Cask. It's a composition of refill, bourbon and sherry casks bottled at 46% for the perfect balance of drinkability and personality. Rich, smoky single malt from Islay’s south coast marries together with a fresher, fruitier style from the north. Sip and savour, or experiment in cocktails.
Other reviews... The 46% ABV strength is perfect for an easy-drinking but richly flavoured experience. The sherry casks are not over-bearing, providing some delicate nuances under these well-matured bourbon malts. I’m having a hard time putting this bottle down and I would wager that you would as well. If you like peated whiskies, and balanced ones at that, then this should be sitting on your shelf. I’m very much intrigued to get my hands on the Bourbon cask and Sherry cask releases from Elements of Islay now. Well played Elements of Islay team.... If this is priced below other Islay malts in your market, it’s a steal and get it on your shelf ASAP. If it’s in the same price range as Ardbeg 10, Port Charlotte 10, Ardbeg Corrie/Oogie/An Oa, then use your discretion. However, depending on your preferences, this blended malt can stand toe-to-toe with any of these single malts. - dramface.com
