Independent bottler Samaroli presents a 24-year-old Islay single malt whisky from the Bowmore Distillery, matured in a single cask that previously held Sherry wines. Bowmore is one of the rare distilleries which still produces its own floor-malted barley, hand-turned by a traditional wooden malt shovel and hand-drawn machinery. Their whiskies are made according to time-honoured skills acquired over two centuries and are renowned for their distinctive smokiness.
Tasting notes
Elegant and fragrant with rich tones of white chocolate that complement the mild peaty aromas of stove charcoal and toasted wood.
At 45% Vol, the palate offers an unusual, delicate peatiness. The ageing in sherry barrels rounds the flavours, amplifying the enveloping structure of the liquid.
Opulent & velvety with a long succulent aftertaste.
