Islay Violets 33 Year Single Malt
$609.99
This 33 year old Islay single malt is supposed to be a mystery malt, but one taste and you'll know this has to be from Bowmore. It is bottled at 46.2% from a parcel of whisky originally matured in American oak and finished in ex-Cognac casks. This floral-lavender style of Bowmore can be divisive but has its fans, including our owner Andrew. But as Billy Abbot from the Whisky Exchange has pointed out (see his tasting note below), this is "an example that might turn more people to the distillery's floral side." It has an impressive score of 89.85pts Whisky Base, especially for the style...
To say we're excited about this release would be a gross understatement. Not everyone loves lavender heavy Bowmore, but we think you'll love this one!
Tasting Note by Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange
Nose: Waxy with the expected violet notes, both floral petals and green leaves. Sweet barley sugar and parma violet notes develop, with chamois leather, candied lemon and lavender syrup to follow. Zestiness builds, with singed orange peel joining the lemon, along with burning rosemary twigs.
Palate: The classic floral notes lead on the palate, with lavender and sweet violet joined by Love Heart candy, sultanas and a hint of mint. Waxy petal notes develop, along with vanilla toffee, soft spice and a touch of damp earth hiding at the back.
Finish: A final burst of violet fades to leave candied lemon, green grass and toffee.
Comment: A famously divisive style of Bowmore, and an example that might turn more people to the distillery's floral side. If you're on the fence, this is the dram to turn you, with excellent floral and citrus balance, and a gentle undertone of smokiness. It tastes exactly how you'd expect from reading the label...
