Elements of Islay Sherry Cask Review
Bottled by Elements of Islay, this blend of malt whiskies from non-disclosed Islay distilleries finds the perfect balance between smoky and sweet. On the palate, BBQ notes weave throughout a medley of stewed fruit compote, winter spices, toffee, and sherried oak. At 54.5 percent ABV, the proof is absolutely on point as well, making this one of the most impressive and complex peated releases on the market right now.
