Bn7 – Elements of Islay

50cl / 55.7%

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Elixir Distillers

Matured for more than 16 years in a duet of oloroso sherry butts, this is a weighty winter warmer. Candied citrus and fresh-baked bread squabble while mixed spice and rich, dark fruitcake relax by the fire. A luxurious, lingering and deeply satisfying whisky.

Cl11 – Elements of Islay

50cl / 55.4%

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Elixir Distillers

Distilled in 2008, this characteristically fresh and green whisky has been darkened and deepened by an 18-month finishing period spent in ex-solera sherry butts. Thick, powerful peat smoke meets its match in rich stone-fruit sweetness against a backdrop of dark chocolate and charcoal bitterness. A beautiful thing.

Lp9 – Elements of Islay

50cl / 54.3%

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Elixir Distillers

Distilled in 1998 and matured in a single Pedro Ximenez sherry butt, this is a powerfully smoky and unmistakeably medicinal whisky with its more aggressive aspects ground down and tamed by heavily-sherried, fruity influence. With only 714 bottles produced, this is an Islay monster destined for rapid extinction.

Pittyvaich 28 Year OldSpecial Releases 2018

70cl / 52.1%

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
