Description

Established in 1779, Bowmore Distillery is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland and nestles on the shores of Loch Indaal on the Inner Hebridean Isle of Islay. Bowmore is universally regarded as the best balanced of all Islay malts, characterised by its wonderfully rich and complex flavours. This robust, non-chillfiltered single malt Scotch whisky is bottled at 56% ABV to showcase its intense yet pure flavors of peat smoke, ocean waves, and sweet malt.

The maritime notes and oak give the nose a firm direction, with burnt sugar bringing a sweeter contrast. On the palate, fruit joins that same maritime, oak and burnt-sugar combination. I like the way the sweet and maritime elements sit against each other; neither has to do all the work. At 56% ABV, Bowmore Cask Strength has a high stated strength, but that number alone doesn’t say how the alcohol feels. The finish is described as big and bold. That suggests a marked conclusion, though it gives less flavour detail than the nose and palate. For me, the contrast between maritime notes and burnt sugar is the main attraction, with the fruit adding another point of interest.
