Bowmore Claret Bordeaux Wine Casked Limited Edition Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Cask Strength 56.0% Vol. - rare old bottling of a special Bowmore Islay Single Malt!
The rare and exceptional Bowmore Claret Bordeaux Wine Casked Islay Single Malt Whisky was matured for 12 years in bourbon casks and then finished for more than two years in selected Bordeaux red wine casks. It was bottled in the year 1999 at cask strength 56.0% ABV in a limited edition of 12,000 individually numbered bottles.
The cool, damp sea breezes, rich peat deposits and pure water give Bowmore Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky its unique quality and delicately spicy complexity - berry fruits from the wine cask finish blend with the underlying peat smoke and sea salt from the heart of Bowmore.
The exclusive Bowmore Claret Bordeaux Wine Casked Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the result of traditional craftsmanship, decades of experience and a wonderful piece of whisky history from the Bowmore distillery. The selection and combination, unusual at the time, was made under the direction of whisky legend Jim McEwan. At that time, finishing in ex-Bordeaux red wine casks was more an experiment for Bowmore, but the long maturation in selected bourbon casks and the finish in Bordeaux red wine casks resulted in a completely new whisky experience - the fruity sweetness and creamy smokiness make Bowmore Claret Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky a memorable and incomparable experience.
On the nose, the Bowmore Claret Bordeaux Wines Casked Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky reveals deep and delicate notes of dark fruits, cherries, figs, blueberries, vanilla, toffee and a hint of peat. The taste is sweet and creamy with juicy dark fruits, violets, spices, mint, charcoal, chocolate, coffee and the classic salty peat. The finish is long, sweet and warm with wine, violets, cloves and sea salt - the perfect combination of bourbon and Bordeaux red wine casks, a memorable and unforgettable Bowmore Islay Single Malt!
