Whisky Sponge Bowmore 18 Year

This 18 year old Bowmore was bottled under the Whisky Sponge label by Decadent Drinks. Distilled in 2003, it was matured in a Refill Sherry Butt before bottling at 50.3%. 89.33pts Whiskybase & 90pts Whisky Fun
Producer Description
"This is an 18 year old Bowmore. It was distilled in 2003 and matured in a refill sherry butt, however a few years ago its maturation was 'broken' by spending some time out of cask. It was then put back into a different refill sherry butt to continue maturing. Hence the age being 18 years old. This is a sibling cask to the 17 year old Bowmore we bottled as Whisky Sponge Edition No.50, except this time it has an extra year of maturation under its belt and - as this is the last cask of this parcel of stock - we've bottled it at natural cask strength. This cask isn't quite as sherry-forward as its sibling. It's a more exuberantly fruity and classical modern Bowmore with beautiful inflections of soft, dry peat smoke, a wealth of coastal freshness and mineral character and lighter background hints of leather, tar and eucalyptus from the refill sherry influence. Beautiful, powerful, chiselled and complex. No soap was detected or utilised during the shepherding into being of this bottling. The entire Decadent Drinks team would like to thank Rembrandt for kindly dying in 1669, thus allowing us to riff on his masterpiece 'The Storm on the Sea of Galilee' without fear of legal reprisal. We hope you enjoy this very special bottling, it'll probably be our last Bowmore for quite a length of time. Sloppy yet surreptitious smooches... Whisky Sponge. Xxx"

About the Old Orkney Brand
"Very early on in the Decadent Drinks story, Angus had the idea to see if he might be able to buy the historic, but long dormant, Old Orkney brand. AKA: 'Double O'. After all, nothing ventured, nothing gained. The reason for this is that one of the big influences upon Angus' approach to bottling and branding, was the old 'Double O.O.' brand. It was originally the bottling brand of Stromness Distillery on Orkney, which sadly closed in 1928. After that time the brand quickly fell into dormancy and was used only very sporadically in the intervening decades."

Producer Description
"After re-racking into port casks for around two years, we felt that this whisky was not yet ready for bottling. Our team decided that the spirit had been slightly overpowered by the casks. As a result, the casks were then transferred into refill bourbon for around a year which has created a deliciously rounded dram. Notes of raspberry ripple ice cream, juicy dates and peanut butter reveal themselves sip by sip."
