The Bowmore Masters Selection 22 Year Old is the second release in a series of collaborative expressions between the Bowmore Distillery and Aston Martin. This exceptional single malt whisky has been meticulously crafted by Bowmore's Master Whisky Maker, Ron Welsh, and Aston Martin's Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman. This limited-edition gem was aged for 22 years in a unique combination of American oak hogsheads, European oak sherry butts, and Tawny Port casks, incorporating whisky distilled in both 1997 and 2000.
Bottled at a robust 51.5% ABV, this single malt whisky reveals a deep copper hue and boasts an array of complex aromas and flavors. On the nose, it offers a symphony of heather honey, vanilla, cherries, lychees, floral notes, eucalyptus, oak spices, liquorice, and fresh tobacco leaves, with a hint of aniseed and mint. The palate is equally enthralling, presenting malty spice, vanilla fudge, golden syrup, butterscotch, thyme, white pepper, dry oak, hazelnut, demerara sugar, maple syrup, and dates. The finish is both sweet and woody, characterized by notes of liquorice sticks, delivering a spicy mouthfeel, complemented by a touch of peat smoke.
Bowmore, located on the legendary island of Islay, is one of Scotland's oldest working distilleries, having been established in 1779. Renowned for its iconic single malts, Bowmore has been under the stewardship of Suntory since 1994, maintaining its status as one of the most collectible brands in the world of Scotch whisky. The distillery is proud to be among the few remaining Scottish distilleries that still employs its own floor maltings, providing 40% of their malted barley requirements.
This collaboration between Bowmore and Aston Martin exemplifies their shared values and vision, emphasizing the importance of proportionality and precision in their respective crafts. The result is a powerful, unique, and inspiring whisky that thrills all the senses, ensuring an optimal experience for whisky enthusiasts.
