Bowmore 1997 vintage Islay single malt Scotch whisky. Single sherry cask #54 bottled 2021 by Samaroli. 532 numbered bottles. Only Bowmore can  give life to such rare, unique and unrepeatable declinations. Elegant, fragrant nose. Rich in tones of white chocolate and powder that contrast with hints of stove charcoal and toasted wood. All this is the forerunner to those peaty tones that manifest themselves in in a delicate and not overwhelming way.
