Bowmore 50 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Distilled one very cold day in December 1961 and laid down in two ex-bourbon hogshead casks our Bowmore 50 Year Old has spent half a century maturing in Bowmore's legendary No. 1 Vaults. Today just 200 bottles of this truly exceptional single malt remain - 50 of which will be released each year between 2013 and 2016. Bowmore 50 Year Old is a celebration of not just one Mastercraft but many starting with the time-honoured skills of our small distillery team that cold winter's day on Islay. 40.7% ABV Tasting Notes: Color: Warm honey gold. Nose: Sweet almond frangipane in coconut milk the fruitiness of apricots and crystallized orange together with hints of black truffles and tea tree oil. Taste: Bursts of ripe fruit - figs fleshy papaya pomegranate and pineapple - intermingled with black truffles and gentle smoke. Savor: the evolving finish of almond cake and caramelized pears interwoven with subtle peat oils.
