The Elements of Islay Fireside (Limited Release) is a single malt Scotch whisky that emanates the warmth and comfort of a cozy fireside on a cold winter's night. This 54.5% ABV whisky is a true expression of the rugged Scottish landscape, with aromas of peat smoke, sea salt, and heather honey that transport you to the windswept shores of Islay. The deep amber color hints at the richness and complexity within, with notes of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and a subtle hint of citrus on the palate. The finish is long and lingering, with a touch of oak and a gentle smokiness that leaves you longing for another sip. This limited release from Elements of Islay is a true testament to the mastery and tradition of Scottish whisky-making, and a must-try for any whisky connoisseur.

A delicious teriyaki/molasses element carries through the nose and palate, providing a framework for gentle smokiness, salinity, roasted coffee and almost resinous sweetness. Fruitiness is present but subtle: marmalade and stewed figs meet burnt butter. Dilution with water separates the oils and brings a dense, mouth-filling almond-paste character balanced with savoury char. A unique and delicious Ardmore: only 235 bottles were filled.
