Bowmore 22yo Hand Filled, Single Oloroso Sherry Cask #2117, Vintage 1999.

Ok my friends, i told you that i had two drams at the warehouse cellar at Bowmore Distillery. Both were 22yo hand filled, but this second one... was something truly special. Drawn from a single oloroso sherry cask, at 57.3%abv, this was one of the most reddish Bowmores i have had. It is important for me to tell you, that i find Bowmore spirit to be particularly perfect for sherry maturation. On the nose, FANTASTIC. Red fruits, oloroso sherry, cheerry syrup, lemon. It has this incredible aroma that i can only describe as a sherry bubblegum. Chocolate cream. The palate was quite the experience. Starts with chocolate, red fruits and... more chocolate. All the farm and red fruits you can imagine are here. Velvety, this is an amazing thing. Can the aftertaste dance to that great rythm? The answer is yes. Chocolate and ashes. Tobacco. It is a chocolate madness. I can only describe it as heaven. Incredible whisky. Overall, this is perfect. If you drink this single malt your inner organs will become gold. Forget about any medieval alchemists, Bowmore has achieved the elixir for inmortality. My score for this heavenly drink is 100 over a 100. Slàinte Mhath!
