Product description
White Bowmore is not as legendary as the Black Bowmore, but it is just as unique and definitely rare. In 1963, Stanley P. Morrison, a whisky broker, bought the Bowmore Distillery and, after renovation and improvements, resumed distilling. The most famous whisky from the 1964 vintage is probably the Black Bowmore aged in Oloroso sherry casks, which was released for the fourth time in 2007, this time as a herald of a trilogy, the second chapter of which was the White Bowmore presented here. The whisky for this edition came from six bourbon casks filled in 1964 and aged for 43 years in the legendary No.1 Vaults, a stone warehouse partially below sea level. The whisky was bottled at 42.8% abv in 2008, and 732 bottles were released. We should add that the final edition of the triptych, Gold Bowmore, was released a year later, made from three bourbon casks and one Oloroso sherry butt cask, and numbered 701 bottles. While Black Bowmore had five editions, White and Gold had only one.
"The drink has the color of golden syrup and captivating aromas of Galia melon, mango and papaya. The taste is exotic fruit salad, vanilla, maple syrup and a fleeting hint of Bowmore's signature peat smoke. The finish is surprisingly expressive and lingers in the mouth for eternity."
