Bowmore 27 Year Old Port Cask

The final release in the Vintner's Trilogy from Bowmore, Islay's oldest distillery, this single malt has been matured in ex-bourbon barrels for the first 13 years of its life, before spending the next 14 years in port pipes, imparting rich fruits and spice to the classic smoky Bowmore character. Bottled at a cask strength of 48.3% abv free from chill-filtration.The nose is initially peaty and medicinal, with a toffee, herbal and spicy character, before heather and rosemary emerge with red berries and raspberry coulis. The palate is sweet and salty, smoke and sultanas mingling with salted caramel, leather and pepper notes. The finish is earthy, with sweet tobacco, dried cranberries and a touch of white pepper.
