A superb limited edition single cask Bowmore from acclaimed independent bottler Carn Mor. The barrel was chosen by our spirits buyer following a number of extensive sample tastings. This superb Islay malt was aged for 23 years before release and bottled at 49.2% ABV.
Our resident whisky expert Rich Bray had this to say, "Beechwood beach bonfire on the nose - it’s not in your face. Like a neighbour’s BBQ. Once the smoke blows off, it reveals a maple-like sweetness wrapped around stones by the shore. The palate is dates and golden raisins with maple syrup, smoke, and sea salt. The finish is crystalline fleur de sel - it just goes on."

Bowmore is one of the oldest distilleries on Islay and the first on the island to receive a license. Officially founded in 1779 by local merchant David Simpson, it's likely that illicit distilling had been taking place for some years on the same site. The distillery had a number of different owners over the years, passing to Stanley Morrison in the mid 60s before being purchased by Beam Suntory in 1994.
The distillery has bottled some of the world's most desirable single malts over the years including the widely acclaimed White, Black and Gold Bowmore editions. Across the range, the spirit is characterised by a rich smoky character with hints of tropical fruit and ocean spray.
