Description

The oldest operational distillery on the isle of Islay, built in 1779. Today it is part of the Suntory Group, having been acquired by the Japanese company in 1994. Under their ownership it has been nurtured into one of the most collectable names in Scotch whisky. This Bowmore commemorative bottling honours 25 years of Fèis Ìle, distilled in the mid-1980s and matured in a marriage of first-fill American-oak bourbon barrels and seasoned European-oak sherry butts. It was bottled in 2010 at 53.1% ABV as a limited edition of just 100 bottles.

Nose
Maritime notes of sea breeze, wet hay, iodine, and mild peat smoke. Also, sherry influence with dried fruits, vanilla, plums, prunes, mint, lavender, toffee, chocolate, and sweet juicy apple. Some caramel sweetness and a slight perfumed quality.
Palate
Complex and mellow with notes of soap, violet candy, geraniums, lavender, and peppery citrus. Great mouthfeel with soft spices, raspberry, dark chocolate, toffee, maple syrup, nuttiness, Demerara sugar, and a hint of salt. Peat smoke and sherry sweetness are present.
Finish
Candied and soapy with a salty edge and citrus. Soft, lingering, and slightly smoky. Floral notes reappear, followed by dryness and classic Bowmore cigar smoke.
