Distilled in 2001 at the Bowmore distillery and matured in 4 sherry butts before being bottled as the 7th release within the Bw Elements of Islay range. Bottled at full strength, 53.3% vol, really excited about this latest Elements release!

Tasting Notes
Bw7 - Elements of Islay (Bowmore) Producer Notes
Nose: An initial hit of guava and kiwi fruit is joined by Arbroath smokies. Dried mango follows, with sultanas and raisins intertwined with lightly aromatic smoke.
Palate: Dense and creamy with background notes of seaside rock pools and beach bonfires. Toffee and salted caramel sit on top of layers of mango and blood orange.
Finish: Long and juicy with soft hints of woodsmoke and citrus.
