Lot number: 071-1992

Winning bid: £90

Bowmore Tempest:

The oldest distillery on Islay, Bowmore has been described as the Grande Dame of the island. It still has its own floor maltings which make up about 30% of its requirements. Its No. 1 vaults are the oldest maturation warehouse in Scotland and the only one below sea level.

The much sought-after first small batch release, Tempest is a very special release from Bowmore. It’s a cask strength malt made by vatting first-fill bourbon matured whisky. Very rich and complex.

Age: 10 years old

55.3% ABV / 70cl

Bowmore 17 Year Old Mini:

For many people, this was the best standard bottling Bowmore, with a well-rounded palate, great complexity, and citrus, chocolate and brine mingling with the peat.

43% ABV / 5cl
