Elements Of Islay Sherry Cask
Elements of Islay Sherry Cask is a blended malt whisky matured in sherry butts and hogsheads, with its components sourced from two renowned Islay distilleries – one from the north coast and one from the south. The result is a rich and spicy blend with aromas of tobacco, ginger, lemon and treacle toffee; a palate of candied orange, dark chocolate and crystallised ginger; and a sweet, smoky finish. Excellent served neat or on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail such as a Manhattan.
