Elixir Distillers’ Elements of Islay is out with the new series, which includes four bottlings including this BN7 bottle.
Distilled in 2001, this Bunnahabhain has been aged for more than 16 years in a pair of oloroso sherry butts.
Full of rich caramel and dark-chocolate flavour – a perfect winter warmer!
Only a limited amount of 1620 bottles were produced.
Nose: A pan of melting milk chocolate buttons with caramel centres. Toasted cinnamon sticks and ground ginger mixed with sultanas and walnuts – the perfect winter cake mix.
Palate: A thick and creamy texture with tones of milk chocolate and glacé cherries. Classic bitter-orange marmalade spread on freshly-toasted granary bread. Mixed spice follows: caraway seeds, cloves and allspice.
Finish: Juicy with red berries, blackcurrant cordial, cinnamon spice and a lingering citrus note akin to candied orange peel.
