Elements of Islay

Quirky independent bottling series focusing on the single malts of Islay.

Islay is considered a special place by many a whisky connoisseur, not least for its rugged terrain and unpredictable climate. And as home to some of the most iconic distilleries in Scotland, it was only fitting that an independent bottler create a range in the island’s honour. Elements of Islay is a rotating range of single malts launched by London-based Elixir Distillers in 2008. The collection kicked off with Ar1, Cl1 and Lp1, and has grown to include a bottling from every distillery – and distillate – on the island. In 2016 a permanent no-age-statement expression, simply named Peat, was introduced.
