Bowmore’s seaside vaults. Bowmore is releasing the malt

1972 Distillation
27 Years Old
466 bottles released in
1999
Cask numbers 4864, 4865 and 4866
This Limited Edition Bowmore 1972 Islay single
malt scotch whisky, aged
27 years, is one of
only 466 bottles
produced from 3 casks and signed by the Distillery Manager, Islay
Campbell.
Bowmore distillery nurtured this spirit for 27 years, waiting
until the day the whisky was at its prime. Having rested quietly in the
No.1 vaults of Bowmore distillery, breathing in the fresh
Atlantic sea
air, this Bowmore Islay single malt scotch whisky has developed a unique
taste
of saltiness.

In the autumn of 1972, 16th October to be exact,
where the leaves are copper and bronze in colour just like
this unique bottle of Bowmore, the fresh newly distilled
spirit was poored into three casks, numbered
4864, 4865 and 4866. These very
special casks where then placed in the famous No1 Vaults at
Bowmore Distillery to lay in rest for over a quarter of a
century.
Twenty-seven years on, the
Bowmore distillery manager, Islay
Campbell, nosed these three casks to discover the
spirit was perfect for bottling.
On nosing, green ferns, bracken
and gorse bushes are apparent and, lingering behind this,
the coastal aroma of broken seashells, warm sand and sea
spray. The years have been good to this spirit and now it's
full body, strong, rich and mellow and oily Islay character
is very evident. The taste is smooth, warm and lingering,
with lots of mature oaky flavours. The peaty, tarry essences
are now trying to burst through but still held in check by
soft fruits and vanilla. A fantastic west coast sea breeze
refreshes the palate and lifes the sences.
This 27
year old retains the signature flavours that make
Bowmore Scotch Whisky the most balanced of all the Islay
malts. Harmonious, complex and truly quite stunning! |

Tasting notes
Bowmore is the oldest distillery on Islay, and this 16-year-old is big
and briny on the nose, with more brine, less peat and less perfume than
the ‘standard’ 12-year-old version. Dilution produces more profound
notes of char and black treacle. Peat smoke is very evident on the
palate, and a sherbet, fruity sweetness subsequently appears. The sweet
notes are far more pronounced than in the 12-year-old. Water dries the dram out significantly, bringing Sherry and spices to the surface. The
finish is lengthy and drying, with a sprinkling of pepper at cask
strength, along with hints of sticking plasters and peat. |
