Who are Elements:

Elements of Islay is a range of iconic small batch, independently bottled whiskies. The range celebrates the diversity of whiskeys that make Islay special, focusing on the medicinal, smoky and elemental nature of the island's whisky. To preserve their personality, they are not cold-filtered and no color is added. This allows them to present the best whiskeys that Islay has to offer in an authentic yet contemporary style.

The medicinal, almost "elemental" nature of Islay malt whiskey was the inspiration for the laboratory-style bottle and element symbol/number naming system. It was used across the Elements series (Lp1, Ar2, and so on). Coincidentally, even the 50cl bottle used throughout the Elements range is called 'pharmacy'. Each Elements bottle also bears the signature of a whiskey authority, so you can be sure of the quality of the liquid inside.
