Our Very own KWM Single Cask Bowmore from Old Malt Cask! Long have we searched for a worthy (and well-priced!) single cask from this Islay distillery to bottle for our store. When we tasted this Hunter Laing Cask we new we had arrived! Bottled at 21 years old from a Refill Hogshead. Distilled March 1996 - Bottled June 2017. 50% ABV
700 mlAndrew's Tasting Note
Nose: creamy, floral and sweet; a touch of Parma Violets (sweet lavender candies) clotted cream, Crème Brule and salted caramel ice-cream; light-savoury-smoke, lemon and pear drops, vanilla bean Jelly Bellies and wine gums.
Palate: creamy, buttery, oily and fruity; silky layers of honey and vanilla are rolled out with lots of soft fruits: guava, Midori melon, green banana and lots of citrus; more wine gums; the smoke is delicate, floral and decadent, with more lavender and peppermint; the clotted cream caries through on a dry Brittish scone; more ice-cream too: a double scoop of salted caramel and Earl Grey tea.
Finish: long, silky and creamy with layers of fruit, floral tones, elegant smoke and gentle toasted oak. Comment: this was worth the wait; a beautiful malt; my kind of Bowmore!
