Special Features:

A finish in Sauternes barriques adds sweetness to the Islay character of this 22-year-old Bowmore. Created for travel retail, the single malt first matured in American white oak casks that had previously held bourbon. It was then transferred to Sauternes barriques from Bordeaux and is bottled at 48%.

Clementine and lemon bring a fresh edge to the sweetness. Honey and grapes sit alongside baked apple, cinnamon and candied ginger, with butterscotch and vanilla rounding out the impression. Heathery peat remains a discernible counterpoint.

Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: On the nose, ripe clementines and lemon meet heathery peat, sweet honeycomb and vanilla.
  • Palate: The whisky starts soft and sweet on the palate, followed by green grapes, baked apple, cinnamon and candied ginger.
  • Finish: Honey, butterscotch and vanilla combine in a sweet finish.

Distillery/Bottler:

The name Bowmore Distillery has been documented since 1779, and Bowmore is Islay’s oldest distillery. Barley is turned by hand on its own malting floors. During the subsequent kilning, peat smoke contributes to the distillery’s characteristic style. Its No. 1 Vault stands on the shore of Loch Indaal.

Bowmore is part of the Suntory Global Spirits brand portfolio.

Kurzinfos zu Bowmore 22 yo Sauternes finish

The alcohol content is 48%. The whisky has been aged for 22 years.

The volume is 0.7 liters. The bottling is presented in an elegant black box with golden accents.

The age is 22 years. The Bowmore distillery was founded in 1779.

First, ex-bourbon casks made from American white oak were used, followed by a finish in Sauternes wine barriques. This combination results in a balance between maritime peat smoke and the sweet complexity of Sauternes.

The origin is Scotland, Islay, and the bottler is an original bottling. Manufacturer information: Bowmore Distillery.
