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
