Bowmore 1984 (Bottled 2000) Fino Sherry Cask Samaroli / 45%/ 0.7l

For every whisky lover, Samaroli is synonymous with the highest quality and beauty. Silvano Samaroli began his career in the whisky market in 1968 and immediately focused on single cask editions.

In 2008, Samaroli left the management of the company in the hands of Antonio Bleve, but he himself played an active role until his death in February 2017. Here we present an absolutely extraordinary edition of Bowmore, distilled in 1984, when the distillery was operating without Suntory capital, and aged in a puncheon cask (no. 61930) that had previously held Fino sherry. The whisky was bottled in 2000 at 45% abv in an edition of 798 bottles.

Aroma: peat smoke and hints of sulfur, iodine, burnt rubber, seaweed, a drop of soy sauce, salted nuts, toffee, a bit of pepper and oak.

Palate: salty sea breeze, a little iodine, seaweed salad, grilled vegetables, pepper, ginger, roasted nuts, raisins, toffee, oak and peat smoke in the background.

Finish: medium long, smoky and salty, pepper, lemongrass, salted peanuts and some oak.
