Enjoy the Elements of Islay This Spring! – Scotch Whisky News
Join the ImpEx Team on Wednesday, March 15th for an ImpEx Distillery Deep Dive featuring Elements of Islay along with Ollie Chilton and Chanel Liquori from Elixir Distillers on Facebook and YouTube
EOI (Elements of Islay) is introducing its re-imagined core range of blended malt whiskies to the US this month.
The multi-awarded brand, which has won a loyal following over the years for its various limited batch editions, presents three core whiskies that each capture the essence of their origin: Islay.
The three expressions, Elements of Islay Cask Edit, Elements of Islay Bourbon Cask and Elements of Islay Sherry Cask are small-batch, expertly sourced, independently bottled whiskies; have no added color and are non-chill filtered.
Each expression is inspired by a different element of maturation and aimed at curious whisky drinkers who have a desire to experience, taste, and explore the unique flavors of Islay.
Oliver Chilton, Elixir Distillers, Master Blender comments, “ImpEx Beverages has long been at the forefront of introducing innovative whiskies across the US and expanding the whisky audience, so we couldn’t have chosen a better partner to launch the new Elements of Islay malt whisky range. The passion and expertise of the ImpEx team and their strong relationships with top retailers and bars across the country will help us ensure that whisky fans and people looking to discover the incredible category of Scotch Whisky will be able to enjoy Cask Edit, Bourbon Cask and Sherry Cask as much as we do.”
Sam Filmus, President of ImpEx Beverages said, “Having Elements of Islay for my personal enjoyment was a long-term dream of mine. Working with Elixir Distillers to add this line to other exciting offerings they represent has become a passion project. Not only are we blessed enough to enjoy this whisky but also to represent it as the Exclusive US Importer where we can make this available to whisky connoisseurs across the country.”
Cask Edit is a union of two Single Malts aged in Bourbon and Sherry casks leading to the creation of an exceptionally peaty Islay whisky showing the perfect balance of drinkability and personality at 46% ABV. The whisky also lends itself particularly well in cocktails.
Bourbon Cask is on the bolder side and matured in first fill and refill Bourbon barrels then bottled at 54.5% to fully demonstrate the whisky’s dominant Islay personality.
Sherry Cask offers a synthesis of flavor with notes of dried fruits, dark chocolate, lemon oil, and smoke. Bottled at 54.5%, it aims to challenge the status quo of what it means to be an Islay whisky.
The Elements of Islay Core Range is now available at specialty retailers near you! For more information on where to buy please email the office at Office@ImpExBev.com.
