The Bowmore 2004 Whisky Bottle is a unique and exclusive release from the renowned Scottish distillery, Bowmore. Distilled on January 30, 2004, this exceptional whisky was matured in a first-fill bourbon barrel, cask No. 377, which resided in the illustrious No.1 vault. The whisky was then hand-filled straight from the cask on various dates in December 2015, with each customer having the rare opportunity to fill their own bottle using a traditional valinch, making each bottle truly unique and personal. This level of exclusivity means the whisky is not available in any shops, further elevating its desirability among collectors and whisky enthusiasts.
Maturing in a first-fill bourbon barrel has imparted rich and complex flavors to the whisky, showcasing Bowmore's unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship. This 700ml bottle, with an ABV of 59.3%, is a testament to the distillery's rich history and tradition. It's a must-have for any serious whisky collector and a perfect example of the harmonious marriage between Bowmore's spirit and an expertly selected cask.
This whisky is exclusive because each bottle was hand-filled by customers at the distillery using a traditional valinch, making every bottle unique. Additionally, it is not available in any shops, adding to its rarity.
A first-fill bourbon barrel imparts rich and complex flavors to the whisky, providing a unique maturation process that enhances the whisky's profile with distinct notes that are a hallmark of Bowmore's craftsmanship.
This whisky benefits from the addition of a small amount of water, which can open up its flavors and aromas, making it even more enjoyable. Savor it slowly to fully appreciate its complexity and balance.
One of the 'new' Bowmore classics, the 2004 Hand-filled release is a meticulously crafted masterpiece. The influence of the Bowmore spirit and the expertly selected cask are perfectly married in this bottling. The nose reveals an enticing mix of peat, yellow fruit, and subtle smoke, while the taste delivers a rich, oily texture with flavors of honey, mango, and a delicate touch of peat. The finish is long and nuanced, leaving a lasting impression of smoky velpon and peaty fruit. Extremely enjoyable and a testament to Bowmore's dedication to quality.
