Surely there are few locations more evocative than the shores of Lochindaal, an area positively steeped in rich Scottish folklore. It’s no wonder then that Bowmore has a whiff of magic about it (or perhaps that’s just the whisky). The oldest distillery on Islay, Bowmore still retains its own floor maltings; and while they can no longer meet all of the busy distillery’s requirements, they still contribute a third of the malt used in every mash.
Just because something is old, doesn’t mean it’s old-fashioned, and Bowmore’s eco-friendly heat recovery system not only cuts down on those pesky bills, it also heats the town swimming pool!
Here we have a sweet and smokey dram from Bowmore that is full of ideal flavour combinations from salted caramel and dark chocolate to dark fruits and caramel toffee. Importantly, this was released in honour of Bowmore legend and distillery manager David Turner, with each volume in this anthology reflecting on his most memorable moments throughout his long career. This volume specifically celebrates his memories of being an apprentice, hand turning barley every four hours and pays homage to his enduring commitment to quality.
