Bowmore Tempest 10 (Batch 2)

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 55.3%

Score: 91 Points

This is the second batch of Tempest, and the first 500 bottles made up one of Bowmore’s two 2010 Feis Ile special releases. This has notes of orange peel, vanilla, and caramel candy on the nose. The taste is very smooth with notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and toffee, with just a slight lemon-lime touch at the back of the throat. The finish is peppery and long with a hint of smoke.
