Semi-exclusive to KWM, the Elemnents of Islay Ma3 is a heavily peated Bunnahabhain. Distilled in 2004 and matured 15 yea4rs in 2 ex-Bourbon Barrels, the whisky was bottled at 55.2%.

Producer Description

Two ex-bourbon barrels of peated malt from Bunnahabhain were used for this whisky, distilled in 2004 and aged for over 15 years. This is a straightforward, but not simplistic, dram – full of bucolic peat and citrus fruit. Only 734 bottles produced.

Producer Tasting Note

Nose: Marmalade on burnt toast, buttered crumpets, grilled banana and pineapple. The smoke is earthy, mellow and inviting like a summer barbeque.

Palate: Creamy with burnt orange peel and macadamia nuts. A rollercoaster of robust peat that builds and then descends, accompanied by sumptuous fruit flavours: gooseberry, honeydew melon and a salt-rimmed margarita.

Finish: Fresher and slightly green; pine, vanilla, concentrated apple juice.
