Bowmore 18 Years Old Edition#9 Aston Martin 70cl

Bowmore 18 Years Old Edition#9 Aston Martin is an Islay single malt Scotch whisky. It comes from Bowmore, Islay’s oldest distillery, sitting on the shores of Loch Indaal and famed for perfectly balanced smoke and sweetness.

This release is bottled at 43%.

Nose: Gentle peat smoke, sea air and inviting depth.
Palate: Honey, joined by dark chocolate, building in intensity.
Finish: Long and layered, closing on citrus.

Pour it slowly, add a drop of water if you like, and give it time in the glass. Collector’s note: a bottling with clear collector appeal. A strong candidate for the cabinet as much as the glass.
