Bowmore 1992

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 53.5%

Score: 89 Points

This malt was aged for 6 years in bourbon casks, then transferred to Bordeaux wine casks for an additional 10 years of maturation. The color is a reddish gold, and the nose is oaky and heavily influenced by the Bordeaux casks, with tobacco and leather notes matched by a slightly herbal hint. The taste is fruity and tart, with raspberries and figs, along with hints of almonds and hazelnuts. The finish is fruity and herbal.
