Cuvée presentation

Distilled at Bowmore in 1996 and matured for 17 years in bourbon hogsheads, this single cask (#960031) was bottled at 49.8% ABV in 2013. Only 304 bottles were released... Making this quite the rarity!
Equipped with a pale gold colour, this single cask opens with an aromatic register driven by notes of cut hay and smoke that then develop into more iodine and medicinal notes of sage and verbena. The palate is full and perfectly combines peaty and fruit (exotic fruit) flavours. The marine feel is still there, picked up by spices and a background note of citrus. The sweet and lemony finish is underscored by a beautiful salinity. An excellent Bowmore that will be savoured carefully and contemplatively by seasoned enthusiasts. Some may dare to try pairings with bold dishes such as oyster gratin.

The distillery Bowmore

Scotland, Isle of Islay. Distillery operational. Owner: Beam - Suntory

Located on the Isle of Islay, in the heart of the village of the same name, in 1963 Bowmore became, under the aegis of Stanley P. Morrison (owner of the distillery until it was bought by the Japanese company Suntory in 1994), one of the greatest commercial successes in the Scotch whisky industry. Vault #1, responsible for some of its greatest releases, including Bowmore 30 Year Old 1963 and Bowmore Bicentenary, played an important role in forging its international reputation. Built below sea level against a natural dyke, its walls and beaten earth floors are constantly steeped in sea spray. Rooted in tradition, Bowmore is one of the last remaining distilleries to malt part of its own barley on-site. Whether matured in bourbon casks (White Bowmore 1964) or sherry casks (Black Bowmore 1964), its spirit, characterized by notes of liquorice, peat and eucalyptus, never fails to reveal the trademark hint of exotic fruit for which the distillery is known.
