Description

Elements of Islay Lp8 is an independent bottling by Elixir Distillers, part of their Elements of Islay series. This particular release is a 19-year-old single malt Scotch whisky from Laphroaig distillery, distilled in 1998 and bottled in 2017. It was matured in a marriage of three ex-Madeira wine casks, resulting in a beautifully sweet and smoky profile with a slightly softer edge than typical Laphroaig. Bottled at cask strength of 53.5% ABV, it is un-chillfiltered and presented in a 50cl bottle.
