This marvellous single malt from Bowmore joins the Infrequent Flyers collection from indie bottler Alistair Walker. Distilled in June 1997, the whisky was filled into a virgin oak barrel where it remained for the next 24 years. In September 2021, the time came to open up the cask, releasing a total outturn of 252 bottles of this iconic Islay whisky.
Fragrant vanilla leads to floral peat smoke and seabreeze. Some citrus zest creeps in, alongside nutty oak.
Cinnamon and nutmeg build with wafts of salted caramel and pungent harbourside character, ashy smoke is lifted by soft vanilla and oak.
Lingering oak spice and sooty charcoal, a touch of honey sweetness, and rich coffee.
