As the world’s oldest scotch maturation house, Bowmore’s legendary No.1 Vaults is the birthplace of coveted and collectable whiskies including the new Vintner’s Trilogy.
Islay’s Bowmore distillery has launched three new single malts as part of its new Vintners Trilogy, each focusing on a different wine finish.
The second in the trilogy, Bowmore 26 Year Old Wine Matured spends time in ex-bourbon barrels and wine barriques, developing a burnt amber colour.
Nose: Redcurrant jam, camphor oil and cherry pie intermingle with earthy smoke.
Palate: Tropical fruits such as papaya and mango and a honeyed sweetness with the addition of water.
Finish: Oak spiced smoke and rich dark chocolate with a hint of salt.
