Description

Symbiosis Artist #15 Something in the Water is an Islay blended malt Scotch whisky, part of La Maison du Whisky's Artist #15 series. It is a blend of two Bunnahabhain vintages (2013 and 2014) and three Caol Ila vintages (2014, 2015, and 2018). The blend was married and finished for over a year in a puncheon before spending a further six months in toasted virgin American oak barrels. This release is a limited edition of 262 bottles, created by Elixir Distillers for La Maison du Whisky's 15th Anniversary, and is intended to preview the stylistic DNA of Elixir Distillers' future Islay single malt from Portintruan. It aims to strike a natural balance between the earthy peat of Bunnahabhain and the bright, coastal smoke of Caol Ila.

Nose
Delicate and unctuous. Abundant notes of malted barley, cut hay, oily, drying peat, sea spray, pipe tobacco and savoury hints (bacon) form a finely balanced aromatic palette. With aeration, floral (hyacinth), vanilla, ashy, peppery and medicinal (balm) notes add further complexity.
Palate
Lively and dynamic. Initially earthy, chocolatey, herbal, mineral (chalk) and saline, the flavour profile quickly shifts towards smokier, camphorated and medicinal tones (iodine tincture), before softening into gentle malty and fruity notes of orange and apricot.
Finish
Generous and airy. A pleasing malty, smoky and saline bitterness is lifted by candied lemon and Williams pear. In retro-nasal perception, toffee and roasted nut flavours harmonise beautifully with peat and smoke, which gradually take centre stage.
