Nose: Plenty of nougat and marzipan, quickly followed by vanilla pods and a whisper of mint, but also butterscotch, pine resin and rye bread. Finally a touch of cigar boxes and sandalwood. It’s rich alright.Taste: A little less rounded and more aggressive than the nose, with notes of strong coffee, but also cinnamon and dark chocolate, as well as allspice and pepper. There’s also some aniseed, a whiff of charred oak and some liquorice root.
Finish: Cloves, a pinch of salt and even a slight medicinal note. Finally a touch of After Eights and a lingering sweetness.

The Atlantic meets the Mediterranean. This whisky matured in Barrels from Islay, soaked with smoky aromas and salted flavours, then blended with ex-bourbon barrel-aged single malt that was left to mature under the hot Tel Aviv sun. The Elements Peated integrates the fruity notes of the new make into the barrel’s typical Islay Peaty notes; the result is delicate, rather mellow, and lightly peated whisky.
