Bowmore 26 Year Old The Vintner's Trilogy - French Oak Barrique 70cl Whisky
Bowmore 26 Year Old The Vintner's Trilogy - French Oak Barrique
The Vintner's Trilogy from Bowmore showcases the impact of lengthy wine-cask-finishes on the terrific Islay single malt. The 26 year old expression began its maturation in ex-bourbon barrels for 13 years, before being moved over to French oak barriques (that previously held wine) for the remaining 13 years!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Bonfires on the beach (with some grilled pineapple) leading into earthy smoke. Fruity coffee, too.
Palate
Chewy raisins and smoked oak, with a whiff of brandied cherry. A coastal tang develops.
Finish
Salted chocolate and quince jam.
