Elements of Islay, PL6

Tasting Notes

On the nose farmyards, burnt grass, camphor, young Jamaican rum and petrol. Underneath the more powerful notes, there’s sweet potato pie, malt loaf and just a hint of peaches. Oily and briny palate. Smoked ham, barley husks, Manzanilla sherry, almond oil, green olives. There’s a warmth of Christmas spice towards the end: clove and cinnamon. A finish of oak chips, sweet white wine, pancetta, rye bread and hot ashes.
