Single Malt Island Whisky

Butt #900154 yielded 353 bottles

Distilled on the 2nd of October 2008 and bottled July 2017 at cask strength with no artificial colouring.

We described this as a mighty Sherry bomb from the Inner Hebrides because of it's intense colour and strength. The spirit managed an incredible amount of extraction during the relatively short maturation period which was likely due to the high alcohol original fill. This Tobermory could have enjoyed further maturation but we felt it was suitable for consumption now based on the deep flavours already obtained.

Molasses, cocoa and raisin

ABOUT THE DISTILLERY

Founded in 1798 on the largest Island on the Inner Hebrides, the unspoiled Isle of Mull. The water source remains the Mishnish Lochs.

Single Malt Islay Whisky

Barrel #136 yielded 180 bottles

Distilled on the 11th of September 2002 and bottled November 2017 at cask strength with no artificial colouring.

Barrels typically benefit from enhanced maturation due to the spirits greater level of exposure to wood compared to a much bigger Hogshead or butt, this Bowmore being a example of maturation beyond it's years.

Post bottling, the barrel used to mature this Bowmore was filled with Caol ila due to the high quality of the barrel and the delightful character found in this Bowmore.

ABOUT THE DISTILLERY

In 1779 the Bowmore distillery became the first licensed distillery on Islay of the Inner Hebrides, making it one of the oldest legitimate Whisky distilleries in Scotland. 

A host of owners have controlled this distillery since its inception including John Simpson, William & James Mutter, Sherriff's Bowmore Distillery Ltd, William Grigor & Sons Ltd. In 1963 Stanley P. Morrison ltd bought the distillery and increased the number of stills to four and provided further investment. However, it was in 1994 that the Suntory buyout took place which brought the distillery under Japanese ownership.

The distillery's iconic white buildings sit facing the Atlantic Ocean while the water source is from the winding Laggan River that meanders through peat bog and moss of Islay. The traditional methods of Whisky making still maintained by the distillery have ensured a consistent high quality of liquid that has gifted Bowmore among the finest reputations for Whisky.

About the distillery

Located within the Highland Whisky region but sitting under Speyside in the Scottish midlands. The distillery is located in Auchterarder and enjoys a long history stretching as far back as 1488 where it was the site of an ancient brewery where King James IV bought ale on his way to Scone palace. The distillery proper was built in 1949 which makes it a relatively modern distillery. She takes her name from the Gaelic ‘Tullach Bhardainn’ meaning hill of warning and water from the supreme Danny Burn. The distillery currently lives outside the ownership of the big Whisky conglomerates, with its own cooperage, warehouse and bottling hall on site.

This special Butt was distilled during the distillery's reawakening following the 2003 acquisition. The distillery had been closed since 1995 until it was sold to an independent group of Whisky enthusiasts in 2003. Following the acquisition the distillery was brought under the assured management of John Black, a renowned figure in the Whisky industry with over 55 years of experience in the industry and who previously worked at Cardhu, Glenburgie, Miltonduff, Ardbeg, Glencadam, Balblair, Pultney, Auchentoshan, Tormore, Ardmore, Scapa and finally Tullibardine. John unfortunately passed away in 2013.

Tasting

A maple syrup coloured dram which has taken wonderfully well from the Sherry Butt.

All the notes of a fruity blackberry baked tarte including sweet Scottish summer strawberries, orange peel with notes of chestnut honey, cinnamon and the slightest gingery heat. A smooth lingering aftertaste with dark chocolate and more of that delightful honey.

Enjoy this one to mark an occasion or after a meal as a delightful desert dram

Whisky Corner review - "This is a whisky to enjoy whilst relaxing in a leather arm chair, with the paper, or a weighty tome...On the palate there is no doubt as to the origin of this whisky, the Oloroso influence is off the scale"

About the distillery

Islay is renowned for producing Scotland's most distinct and recognizable Whiskies. The small island which enjoys 130 miles of coastline and it’s own micro climate has distilled Whisky with a limited number of exceptional distilleries for centuries. We were very fortunate to obtain this beautiful single butt from a private collector but due to the gravity of the butt the name had to remain secret. All that can be revealed is that the spirit was distilled on the East Shore of Islay.

The first fill Oloroso butt was used to mature the spirit for a splendid 14 year period and the light quality of the spirit produced from this distillery’s large stills have allowed for a delightfully balanced sherry influence, revealing sweet, dark and nutty qualities with ginger and cherries. We were so impressed by the wood’s condition after the Secret Islay maturation that we have opted to use the Butt again, as it has so much left to give, for the further maturation of a Royal Brackla.

We at Lady of the Glen have genuinely never been more proud to a release butt and it's been purposefully bottled at a time in it's maturation where it is ideal for sipping.

Tasting notes

Colour: Antique bronze
Nose: Salty and earthy yet sweet and floral at first. Think sea breeze on a warm spring day. Biscuits and caramel sauce with hints of old and damp fire wood.
Palate: Woody with a toffee/candy apple note initially. Hints of sea spray and fresh cut flowers come next. More caramel and biscuits notes towards the end.
Finish: Subtly sweet with woody overtones. Long and rich.

Tasting

A peach golden honey coloured Whisky from our Bourbon cask is a light dram bursting with vanilla and pears.

The burgeoning fruity nose expresses ripe peach with the sweet syrup of canned pears. A shortcrust pastry pear tarte on the palate with vanilla, green apples and the slightest powdered coconut. A peppery aftertaste with lightly dusted chocolate and more sweet baked fruits.
