Brand New TWE Islay Single Malt Range Released!! Welcome to the Elements of Islay, our new range of Single Islay Malt Whiskies. The Elements range draws its inspiration from traditional medical laboratory labels and packaging – even the bottle we’ve used is called ‘pharmacy’. The Elements range will be bottled in individual batches, typically blended from between 5 and 20 casks from a single distillery. Each bottle will show the distillery’s ‘Element’ symbol alongside a batch number on the label (eg Lp1). Another important feature of the Elements range is the absence of vintages or age statements on the label. This enables us to marry casks of different ages together to create a unique taste profile for each batch – we believe that stated ages and vintages are less important than creating a top quality malt that truly expresses the character of the distillery that made it. To underscore this, we have asked respected industry figures to endorse each batch of Elements whisky. We are delighted that the famous whisky writer, raconteur and bon vivant Charles MacLean has agreed to endorse our inaugural release, which encompasses truly elemental full-proof single malts from three wonderful Islay distilleries.

Coming Soon Just a quick heads up on a new book that will be released very soon - Ulf Buxrud 's new tome 'Japanese Whisky - Facts, Figures and Taste' . Ulf is an important figure in the whisky world, being one of the famous Malt Maniacs , and the author of the definitive book on the Rare Malt series . Ulf is also famous for having hosted an extraordinary tasting of 53 vintages of The Macallan back in 2002. You can read Whisky Magazine's article on the occasion here . To have such a learned and committed whiskyphile turn his energies to the emerging Japanese whisky scene is very exciting - especially given the recent success of Japanese whisky at the World Whisky Awards this year - and we are all looking forward to what should be a fascinating read. 'Japanese Whisky - Facts, Figures and Taste' should be here in the next few weeks, and will be priced at £40.
