Detailed Description
Made at Bowmore distillery in 1988, this Islay single malt spent three decades in a single refill bourbon hogshead, before being bottle by Hunter Laing for the 2019 release of its Kinship Collection. Sweet and smoky aromas fill the nose, as well as hints of vanilla and pears. The palate offers notes of salty, smoky driftwood, floral peat and sweet barley, before developing into notes of vanilla, honey, peat and rich, earthy peat.
