BOWMORE TASTING – August 8th, 2022 at Milroys of SOHO – Islay Whisky News
BOWMORE TASTING
Bowmore it is smoke, reminiscent of beach bonfires, mingles with a distinctly saline note, flowers, cereal, citrus and underneath a touch of tropical fruit. It is this character which, when matured in refill casks for a long period of time, becomes the primary aroma, the peat seemingly disappearing completely.
A significant percentage of the make is aged in ex-Sherry butts which take Bowmore off in another direction – one of dark fruits, chocolate, coffee, citrus and smoke.
The extensive range picks and chooses between these extremes. A significant percentage of the distillery’s whisky is matured on the island, with the distillery’s No.1 Vaults being have the most extraordinary microclimate, with the sea and temperature influencing the whiskies that are stored in the Vault, This chill, damp environment of the vault lies below sea and Loch Indaal, one wall makes up the town’s sea wall – is seen as ideal for long-term maturation.
