Bowmore Vault Edition 1st Release Atlantic Sea Salt

A UNIQUE SERIES Created using the finest hand selected ex-bourbon casks to create a refined liquid of greater depth, Bowmore Vault Edition Atlantic Sea Salt reflects the distinctive microclimate in the depths of the No.1 Vaults. Bowmore Distillery’s close proximity to the sea is vital in determining the final character of the spirit, and the Atlantic sea spray that washes against the iconic sea-facing wall of Bowmore’s legendary No.1 Vaults is a key note in this release. Bowmore knows that this special environment defines its special product. That is why they’ve decided to honor it with a special collection.  This series will explore four of the essential characteristics found in Bowmore's whiskies after maturing in their legendary No.1 Vaults maturation warehouse. For the first release, the whisky possesses up-front notes of Atlantic sea salt. The other yearly releases will explore peat smoke, vanilla sweetness and citrus fruits. Bowmore Vaults Edition is matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at high strength. TASTING NOTES: Color: Bright gold. Nose: The zest of sun-ripened fruits drizzled with the sea Sip: Salted honeycomb with zingy spiced cocoa and the tang of iodine-soaked blood orange Flavour: The never-ending salt finish of ocean-spiced blackberry, sea-salt and lingering kumquat, going on and on like the depth of the ocean. Finish: The never-ending salt finish of ocean-spiced blackberry, sea-salt and lingering kumquat, going on and on like the depth of the ocean. Not too long, slightly drier. Same mix of fruits, salt, ashes and a light earthiness.
