Living Souls

Bowmore 7 Years Old Batch #2

ABV: 55% 70 cL

This single malt was distilled at the Bowmore Distillery on the Isle of Islay. It was matured for 7 years in second-fill bourbon barrels, creating a smoky malt that evokes a rugged coastline at dusk with Atlantic sea spray and peat smoke drifting across the dunes. 

Bottled without chill-filtration or artificial colouring. 

Nose

Atlantic sea spray and peat smoke.

Palate

Bright citrus, vanilla pods and dried driftwood, layered with hints of salted caramel and honey.

Finish

A wisp of bonfire smoke carries through the finish, capturing a different side of the island in every sip.

£56.00

Tax included.

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.
