Amidst the wild beauty of Islay, the rough seas and winds of the Hebrides, Bowmore has been handcrafted since 1779. In the legendary "No. 1 Vault", the old stone vault on the edge of Loch Indaal, the magical character of Islay and centuries-old traditions combine to create a single malt whisky with complex balance, mild Islay smokiness, maritime minerality and a wealth of fresh stone fruit flavours. The Bowmore 1989 matured fully in port casks for 23 years and was bottled in 2013. Tasting notes:Colour: Mahogany with red accents. Nose: Smoky, complex, cherries, chocolate, wood, sea salt, sandalwood, nuts. Taste: Smoke, fruit, winter spices, blood oranges, truffle. Finish: Long lasting, smoky, blood oranges, walnut oil, truffle.
