About this bottle
A unique whisky library of seven 20cl elements, each exploring a different sherry-seasoned oak
The original Whiskymaker's Project, Elements is a library of whisky learning. Offering a rare glimpse into the mind of a whiskymaker as they set out to create a new single malt whisky, this project originates before we ever released a single malt.
Remarkably rare and individually numbered, this collection of whisky is the result of a forensic examination of what a sherry cask could be. One of only 1,368 whisky libraries, it explores the flavour, aroma and texture derived from different sherry-seasoned oak casks, presenting a snapshot in time of seven different types of sherry wine: Fino, Manzanillia, Amontadillo, Palo Cortado, Cream, PX and Oloroso.
Comes with a hardcover Elements guidebook, offering a background to each sherry wine and how it interacts with our casks and new make spirit.
Also individually numbered certificate; one of only 1,368 libraries.
