Elements of Islay Bw8 (Bowmore)

This multi-layered Bowmore is a vatting of whiskies distilled between 2001 and 2003. Left to age in ex-bourbon barrels and ex-sherry butts for sixteen to eighteen years, it showcases its classic true-Islay character through a window of tropical fruits and coastal freshness.
1320 bottles produced.

Tasting notes
Core Flavour - Citrus, tropical fruits, coastal brine and smoke.
Nose - Grapefruit mixed with brown sugar. A hint of charcoal smoke with baked lemons developing into richer, more pronounced tropical notes of under-ripe mango drizzled with lime juice.
Palate - Old-fashioned chocolate limes. Citrus and salt blend together and further richness is delivered by papaya and kiwi. Buttered samphire lends a coastal feel.
Finish - A dry, herbaceous finish lingers with wave after wave of kiln smoke.

Ideal to be paired with Islay Chocolate from Chocisky.
