Elements Of Islay Sherry Cask

Elements of Islay Sherry Cask is a blended Islay malt whisky, launched in 2022 alongside two other core range expressions.

Blended exclusively from first fill and refill sherry casks by Head Blender Oliver Chilton, this spirit boasts a combination of tarry peat and sweet sherry flavors, bottled at 54.5% ABV without any coloring or chill filtration. With an updated label featuring cask and flavour information, and now packaged in a larger 70cl apothecary bottle, Elements of Islay Sherry Cask is a fantastic value for fans of bold and flavourful Islay malts.

Nose: The lingering scent of tobacco remains in an empty sandalwood cigar box. Arbroath smokie sits alongside aromatic notes of lemon oil, ginger root and a hint of menthol.
Palate: Rich and unctuous. Dark-chocolate-dipped candied orange slices and chunks of crystalised stem ginger. Muscovado sugar syrup provides a sticky, dark drizzle over date- studded ginger cake. Sweet smoke and dried autumn fruits sit in the background.
Finish: Treacle toffee and smoky black tea, sweetened by dark brown sugar. A long, sweet, rich and spicy finish.
