DESCRIPTION

Von Laphroaig an der Südküste bis Bunnahabhain ganz im Norden: Für Elements of Islay wählen die Elixir Distillers Abfüllungen aller aktiven sowie teils inaktiven Brennereien der Whiskyinsel aus. Ihre köstlichen Elementarteilchen komponieren die Abfüller, die sich unter anderem mit ihrer Marke Port Askaig einen ausgezeichneten Ruf unter Islay-Liebhabern erworben haben, aus Fässern unterschiedlichen Alters und zum Teil unterschiedlicher Destillerien.

Das Ziel: die volle Bandbreite der insularen Malt Whiskys mit ihrem medizinischen, torfigen und maritimen Charakter abbilden.

Diese neue Abfüllung in kleinen Chargen fängt die Essenz von Islay ein. Elements of Islay CI14 verbindet den maritim-torfigen Charakter eines Caol Ila Single Malts mit der Frucht und Würze eines andalusischen Starkweins. Ihre feine Komplexität entwickelt die Abfüllung in einem American Oak Hogshead und anschließend drei Oloroso Sherry Butts. Das Ergebnis? Cremige, süffige Noten von pürierten Himbeeren, jodhaltigem Meeresdunst, dunkler Schokolade und würzigem Rauch.

TASTING NOTES

Nose	Küstenrauch, überlagert von geräucherter Makrele und Frucht-Chutney. Angenehme pikante Noten verflechten sich mit Karamell.
Palate	Noch süßer und üppiger als in der Nase. Schichten von Trockenfrüchten, Himbeerpüree und Kirschen. Orangenschalen verbinden sich mit leichtem Rauch und Gewürzen.
Finish	Ausgewogen und anhaltend mit dunkler Schokolade, Lagerfeuerglut und Granatapfelkernen.

Founded in 1846, Caol Ila (pronounced 'cull-eela') has been producing a range of exceptional whiskies that capture the true spirit of this iconic whisky island. Known for its breathtaking views of the Sound of Islay and the Paps of Jura, the distillery offers a serene backdrop to some of Scotland's most profound and characterful whiskies.
Caol Ila is renowned for its peated single malts, which are a quintessential representation of Islay's whisky style. The distillery's use of local peat in the malting process imparts a distinctive smoky and maritime character to its whiskies, making them highly sought after by enthusiasts around the world. The core range includes expressions that vary in age and cask type, each offering a unique exploration of Islay's natural and cultural heritage.
The Caol Ila 12 Year Old, the distillery's flagship expression, is a perfect introduction to its style. It offers a balanced combination of rich peaty flavors and a fresh fruity undertone. For those seeking a more intense experience, the Caol Ila Cask Strength presents a powerful and unfiltered taste of Islay.

Elements of Islay
The Elements of Islay is a unique series of small batch and single cask whiskies that pay homage to the famous Scottish region of Islay. This series is produced by Specialty Drinks, an independent bottler based in London, known for their careful selection of exceptional spirits.
The whiskies in the Elements of Islay series are not branded by the distillery name but by a coded system representing each distillery, such as "Lg" for Lagavulin or "Ar" for Ardbeg, followed by a number indicating the specific release. This innovative approach allows the focus to be on the individual character of the whisky and the unique influence of Islay's elemental terroir, rather than the reputation or style of individual distilleries.
These whiskies are renowned for their depth, complexity, and intensity of flavor, embodying the distinctive peatiness and maritime influence that Islay whiskies are famous for. Bottled at natural cask strength without chill filtration or added coloring, each release offers a pure and unadulterated taste of Islay.
The bottlings are typically limited, making them highly sought after by collectors and whisky enthusiasts. The packaging of the Elements of Islay series reflects the theme of the elements: the whisky is bottled in laboratory-style flasks, and the box features coding in the style of the periodic table. This scientific aesthetic aligns with the brand's ethos of exploration and discovery, inviting you to delve into the elemental heart of Islay.
Whether you are a seasoned Islay aficionado or new to the region, the Elements of Islay offer a unique and immersive journey into the heart of this iconic whisky region, one dram at a time.
