Single Malt
Scotland
The Character of Islay Whisky Company
1 Jan 2003
Bourbon
A single cask single malt from the Bowmore Distillery, matured for 16 years in a refill bourbon barrel before being independently bottled by The Character of Islay Whisky Company as part of its The Stories of Wind & Wave range. A wonderful way to show off the glory of Islay whisky - with a cracking, enjoyably smoky, subtly citrusy Bowmore!
Floral barley wafts arrive first, shortly followed by wave after wave of rich smoke, with a hint of orange oil and papaya underneath.
Tropical fruit once again, now with some BBQ-charred pineapple in the mix. Softly oaky, plus a good helping of vanilla custard.
A smidge of tarry smokiness appears on the finish, as well as some forest floor earthiness.
