The Bowmore 1997 SV Cask Strength Collection is a remarkable whisky, being the first release from Signatory's Symington's Choice bottlings, meticulously hand-selected from the finest casks by Andrew Symington. Distilled on September 23, 1997, and matured for 25 years in an oloroso sherry butt, it produced a limited run of 616 bottles on February 9, 2023. With an ABV of 55.9%, this Bowmore expression opens up a delightful tasting experience, starting with exotic fruit juice, seawater, mango, pink grapefruit, and passion fruit flavors. These are beautifully complemented by lemon liqueur, waxy hints, and a slightly acrid, grassy smokiness. As it evolves on the palate, it reveals intricate layers of paraffin, mineral notes, grapefruits, lime, sourdough, oysters, damp gravel, wet tweed, apple peelings, and barbecued pineapple. The finish develops into a lovely mango custard with vanilla and a hint of medicinal menthol. Bottled as part of Signatory Vintage's Cask Strength Collection, this Bowmore whisky boasts a quarter-century of aging in a single sherry butt, resulting in a robust and complex profile. This whisky is a testament to the exceptional quality and complexity of Bowmore, particularly appealing to those who enjoy tropical fruits with evolved peat. While it requires some time to open up fully, it is well worth the wait, making it a true gem for whisky connoisseurs.
