I had the amazing experience to be on this year's Feis Ile, and let me tell you about a fantastic perk i found at Bowmore, on their day of the festival = they had an "Old & Rare" bar, where you could try, for a tiny fraction of the price, super rare Bowmores from previous years.
One of them was this absolutely surprising and tasty 16yo Wine Cask from 1992, bottled in 2008. It has been matured on Bourbon & Limousin Bordeaux Wine Casks, with a 53.5%abv
WOW THE NOSE ON THIS! EXQUISITE RED WINE. (Yes, i am screaming). Chocolate, red wine madness, lemon & Coffee.
On the palate i get marvelous red fruits; So enjoyable. Chocolate, Red wine. It is soooo chocolaty that i, as a fat man, approve this whisky.
Aftertaste gave me some beautiful prunes, red wine, acid fruits. Everything super acid. Bloody mary.
Overall, this one was absolutely spectacular. I had like 4 of them, i even passed on trying other wonderful releases, just because this was too good, i had to have more of it. Pure perfection, one of the best Bowmores i have ever tried. 100 over 100. Top thing.
