Bowmore Devil's Batch #1-3 3 x 70cl
Lot number: 124-01916
Winning bid: £900
Surely there are few locations more evocative than the shores of Lochindaal, an area positively steeped in rich Scottish folklore. It's no wonder then that Bowmore has a whiff of magic about it (or perhaps that's just the whisky). The oldest distillery on Islay, Bowmore still retains its own floor maltings, and while they can no longer meet all of the busy distillery's requirements, they still contribute a third of the malt used in every mash.
Just because something is old, doesn't mean it's old-fashioned, and Bowmore's eco friendly heat recovery system not only cuts down on those pesky bills, it also heats the town swimming pool!
Batch #1
Matured exclusively, and unusually, for 10 years in the finest first fill Sherry casks, which help to bring out Bowmore’s hot and fiery characteristics, this small batch release is, quite simply, devilishly good!
Bottled: 2013
Age: 10 years old
Cask Type: 1st Fill Sherry
56.9% ABV / 70cl
Batch #2
With the first release selling out like hot cakes, this release looks like it will go the same way. The devilishly dark side of the Bowmore is here in this edition too, thanks to first fill sherry casks being used to mature the whisky.
Bottled: 2014
Age: 10 years old
Cask Type: 1st Fill Sherry
56.3% ABV / 70cl
Batch #3
Subtitled 'Double the Devil' the third, and final, release in the Devil’s Casks series drops the age statement but still has a trick up its sleeve. Marrying spirits matured in both dry Oloroso sherry casks and – for the first time – sweet Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, this whisky has an incredible intensity and remarkable richness.
Bottled: 2015
Cask Type: 1st Fill Oloroso & Pedro Ximenez casks
56.7% ABV / 70cl
