Bowmore Small Batch Bourbon Cask Matured 10 x 5cl / 40%

This lot contains 10 miniature bottles of Bowmore Small Batch, matured in first and second-fill bourbon casks, an unusual expression from a distillery renowned for the use of sherry casks in the maturation process.

Bowmore started distilling in 1779, though there is no evidence of whisky production until John Simpson was granted a licence to distil in 1816. The distillery passed through several hands, and even supplied a cask to Windsor Castle, before it was purchased by perhaps its most famous owner, Stanley P Morrison, in 1963. Bowmore maintains its own floor maltings which supply 40% of its barley, and is known for its medium-peated character. The whisky is left to mature in the No.1 Vaults, which is said to inhabit a unique microclimate, perfect for long periods of maturation.
