Bowmore 11 Years Old Cask Series 27

ABV: 56.1% 70 cL

Cask Series 27 celebrates North Star's 10th anniversary, which they chose to mark by doing what they do best - bottling remarkable spirits. 

This single malt was distilled in February 2015 at Bowmore Distillery on the picturesque Isle of Islay. It was initially matured in a refill bourbon barrel, then finished for 6 weeks in Pedro Ximénez octaves, reaching a total age of 11 years and developing notes of liquorice, aniseed, and smoke balanced by fruity sweetness and citrus.

Bottled at natural cask strength, without chill-filtration or artificial colouring. 

Nose

A half-used cuban cigar down the back of a sherry-soaked Chesterfield (in a good way)

Palate

Liquorice and aniseed hard sweets with a waft of sherry fruits.

Finish

Salty, peppery, gingery lemon slice.

£86.00

The Bowmore Distillery was granted its license to operate in 1779, making it the first legal distillery on the Isle of Islay and the second one in Scotland. However, historical records suggest that the founder of Bowmore, David Simpson, had been distilling in Bowmore for over a decade prior to the granting of the license. Bowmore Distillery survived many ups and downs, but the whisky was produced continuously until 1940 when RAF coastal command commandeered the distillery to help with the efforts. The distillery was reopened soon after. Currently, the Bowmore distillery is part of the Beam Suntory portfolio.
