“The Director’s Cut" of Islay Whisky”, Elements of Islay , Cask Edit, 70cl, 46%

The "Director’s Cut" of Islay Whisky.

If the Bourbon Cask is a solo guitar solo, the Cask Edit is the full symphony. Elements of Islay is famous for bottling the island's medicinal, smoky DNA in pharmacy-style bottles, and this release is their masterclass in blending.

The Region:

Sourced from the legendary Islay (pronounced eye-luh), where peat is king and the warehouses are battered by the Atlantic. But this bottle proves Islay isn't just about brute force—it's about complexity.

The "Edit":

Bottled at a friendly 46%, this is a marriage of two distinct styles: rich, sweet Sherry casks and vanilla-heavy Bourbon casks. It’s an approachable, sophisticated "edit" of the island’s signature flavor profile, making it perfect for sipping without adding water.

Tasting Profile:

• Vibe: Rich, aromatic, and surprisingly fruity.

• Nose: Fresh coffee, almond flakes, and citrus zest mingled with soft peat smoke.

• Palate: A fruit basket of pears and melon, dusted with cocoa and wrapped in gentle, warming bonfire smoke.

• Finish: Clean and fruity with a lingering spicy warmth.

A softer, richer side of the Smoke Island.
