Bowmore 10 Year Old Tempest - Batch 3 - Malt Scotch Whisky
Bowmore Tempest Malt Scotch Whisky is a small batch release of only 2,000 cases. It has been matured for ten years in first fill Bourbon casks.
Aroma
The nose is engulfed by earthy smoke and a sea salt brine. A little water brings out notes of creme brûlée with orange blossom and butter cream.
Taste
At first on the palate there is a surprising little burst of citrus, some lemons and orange, then comes the distinct peaty character of Islay, with a taste of the neighboring sea.
Finish
The citrus returns at the end adding balance and complexity to the mouthfeel and the finish is long, lingering yet clean. Its a balanced yet complex dram that really captures the spirit of the distillery on Islay and the craftsmanship that has been applied to make this beautiful tasting single malt.
