The Whisky Bourbon Cask of Elements of Islay is a spirit that tells the passion for the Scottish territory, with a strong and enveloping character. Coming from the coasts of Islay, famous for its peat- and iodine-rich whiskies, this expression stands out for its maturation in bourbon casks, which impart softness and sweet-amber notes. The result is an intriguing balance between the unmistakable smoky taste typical of Islay and the vanilla sweetness, with hints of honey, caramel, and light fruity nuances.
On the nose, deep and complex aromas are perceived, while the palate reveals a full, complex, and persistent structure, thanks to the long aging in American oak. The particular choice of bourbon casks helps to soften the strength of the peat, offering a pleasant roundness without giving up the characteristic identity of Islay. Perfect for those who love to slowly sip an intense and enveloping whisky, this bourbon cask is suitable to be enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, bringing out all its nuances.
An excellent spirit that conquers both enthusiasts and newcomers, capable of telling the story and tradition of one of the most suggestive whisky-producing areas in the world.
