This Bowmore was distilled in 1985 & bottled in 2012. It is a limited edition bottle with only 750 being produced, so it s pretty rare Whisky. Aged for 26 years, where it spent most of its time in sherry casks before being moved over to bourbon casks for the finish. It was given a special place to rest, in none other than the famously renowned Bowmore No.1 vault that is located below sea-level. Being placed in the No.1 vault means the whiksy goes throught an array of elements from thrashing waves to atlantic gusts Non chill filtered & bottled at cask strength reveals a strong ABV of 52.3%. On the eye the Bowmore 1985 is a deep chesnut colour. Breathe in the trademark Bowmore peat smoke with fragrant summer berries encased in dark chocolate & lashing of cream. Sip blood orange & grapefruit notes together with dark chocolate, salted honeycomb & hints of lemon rose turkish delight. Savour the complex finish with sweet cherries, dark chocolate & leathery-smoke. This is bottle number 95 of 750.
