Notes from the Maker:
\A NEW ERA OF EXPERIMENTATION HAS BEGUN – THE ELEMENTS SERIES IS HERE TO CELEBRATE ALL THINGS IMAGINATIVE AND BOUNDARY-PUSHING IN WHISKY MAKING.
Our distillery team let their imaginations run wild with experimentation and creativity in making Elements. We’re excited to take you along on our journey to explore the different elements that make our whisky unique as we take our signature profile into new territories.
The first release is Elements 1.0, a unique single malt that went through a 55-hour fermentation process overseen by Distillery Manager Barry MacAffer.
MATURATION: Matured in ex-bourbon casks.
117.2 Proof
“IN THE PAST WE HAVE FINISHED WITH DIFFERENT CASKS, WE HAVE USED DIFFERENT MATURATION STYLES, HOWEVER WITH THIS ONE WHAT MAKES IT REALLY UNIQUE IS IT’S ALL ABOUT WHAT WE CAN CHANGE AND WHAT WE CAN ADAPT AND WHAT WE CAN MODIFY AT THE DISTILLERY ITSELF.” - BARRY
