Whisky Single Malt 'Mariner' Bowmore 15 Anni - 100cl

The Single Malt Whisky "Mariner" 15 Years by Bowmore is one of the sons of the country of Bowmore, considered the capital of the island of Islay. Here, on the banks of Loch Indaal, was built in 1779 the Scottish distillery. One of the oldest local distillation of Scotland, exposed to salty winds from the Atlantic. It is the proximity of the sea, the warehouses of aging lapped by the waves and even below sea level, to determine the characteristics of Bowmore. The malting process is carried out, for a part of the supply, directly into the distillery with a metered quantity of peat, while the water comes from the river Laggan. The distillery is equipped with four stills, two for each distillation. Mariner is produced using water from the river Laggan, for over 2000 years the river descends from the hills containing the characteristic Islay peat, the same turf that is used as fuel in the oven to dry the malt. Peat, water, wood, people and tradition come together to create the elegant, cozy and smoky character of Bowmore whiskey. A special edition of Bowmore, the Mariner is aged for 15 years in a mix of ex-bourbon casks North America and ex-Oloroso sherry casks. Deep copper color, the nose are notes of peat to welcome, well integrated with notes of caramel and green apples. The palate is creamy, with smoky notes of oak and a pinch of sea salt. The finish is long, complex and with a beautifully subtle finish.
