Background: This is a single barrel Bowmore, bottled by an Signatory Vintage. It was aged for 12 years in a refill sherry cask before being bottled at cask strength with no color added, and was non-chill filtered. I had this blind then was revealed the bottle so keep that in mind reading my notes.
ABV: 59.1%
Nose: Warm, sweet bbqesuqe peat, honey, figs, berry hint.
Palate: Peat, figs, berries, heat, sherry, allspice
Finish: Long, peaty, sweet, sherry, honey This Is a good balance of the flavors, peat and sherry well, and I would not mind a bottle price dependent.
Rating: 7/10
Guess: This is a 12-18 year old sherry finished peat offering, Olroso or PX.
Reveal: Bowmore 2001 12 year Exclusive Malts Refill Sherry Cask
