Three intriguing newl drams this week

🥃Laphroaig Elements L 1.0

The first release in the Islay distillery’s new Elements Series, a collection dedicated to innovation and experimentation in wh**ky making.

For this inaugural expression, distillers explored the impact of production variables by using both clear and cloudy wort, produced in two differently sized mash tuns, before a 55-hour fermentation. The spirit was then matured exclusively in bourbon casks and bottled at a robust 58.6% ABV

🥃Ardnamurchan Tokaji Cask Release

Another intriguing release from Ardnamurchan’s ever-experimental cask series

This expression began life in 28 unpeated bourbon barrels filled in 2018 before being re-racked into Hungarian Tokaji w**e casks for just over two years. The wh**ky was then married with two fully matured bourbon barrels, creating a unique dram that balances floral sweetness, vibrant fruit character, and the distinctive funky charm of this west coast dram. It is bottled at 52%

🥃Ardbeg Dolce

Dolce (meaning 'sweet') marries the rich fruity sweetness of Sicilian Marsala dessert w**e with the intense islay smokiness of Ardbeg. It is bottled at 47.8%
