@ReaderJohn I tasted it alongside the standard 10 year old Laphroiag, one of my favourite whiskies, which is definitely distinctive. I’d argue that the difference between the 10yo and the Elements definitely make the latter fantastic for me. It intensified everything I like about the distillery’s whisky 😊
