Bourbon
A 21-year-old single malt from the brilliant Bowmore distillery, bottled by our own fair hands. This was distilled back in February 1995 and slumbered in a bourbon hogshead until we bottled it up in December 2016 at cask strength without any chill-filtration or additional colours (just like the rest of our Single Cask Series). Dig into some stunning Islay single malt. Go on.
Rich and old book-ish, with treacle, cooked raspberries, pineapple, barbecued dates, pine needles on the forest floor, menthol, and the smoke of a bonfire the following morning.
Full-bodied with more of those rich cooked tropical fruits, plus toasted pineapple and fig. The smoke becomes much more earthy on the palate, and there's also a floral quality, plus loads of sweet cinnamon tempered with cumin. A good dose of oak influence gives a woody and vanilla pod-influence, too.
Spicy, drying and long. The earthy bonfire smoke swooshes through at the end.
A delicious dram – like the great outdoors in a bottle.
