The Elements of Islay are a range of iconic, small-batch, expertly sourced independently bottled whiskies. The Limited Edition range consists of single malt bottlings from individual Islay distilleries identified with periodic symbols and batch numbers (Lp1, Ar2, and so on). They are bottled either as single casks or as small batches between 3 and 20 carefully selected casks. These expressions celebrate the distilleries’ individual character while presenting a balanced and characterful whisky bottled at full proof.

Elements of Islay mainly release single malts in limited batches and use elemental symbols to get you thinking about which distillery they came from. They have also decided to create a more consistent approach to bottling their whisky and have created this blended malt which is full of Islay goodness.

PEAT is the perfect expression of smoky whisky, with all the full-on coastal character you would expect from an island whisky, as well as balanced sweetness. On its own or in a cocktail, it is the go-to peaty whisky for all, balancing serious smoky flavour with a sense of fun. Whisky has been used from a handful of distilleries across the island to create an Islay blended malt, taking the distinct character of each and bringing them together, focusing on Islay’s most famous flavour, peat.

Each batch is made of around 60 casks from distilleries in the north and south of Islay all famous for their unique peaty drams. Bottled at 59.3% abv and from all distilleries that are still in production.
