10 Years Tempest Batch 1・Bowmore

Founded in 1779, Bowmore is the ``Queen of Islay.'' The Bowmore Distillery, located in the center of Islay off the west coast of Scotland, is famous for its peat and malting processes, which are influenced by the sea breeze, and the first cellar directly facing the sea, located at sea level. What a story.
This Bowmore "Tempest" is the memorable Batch No.1 released in 2009.
Made from 100% unblended sake that has been aged for over 10 years in first-fill bourbon barrels, ``Tempest'' is a word that means storm or storm, and it expresses the characteristic climate of Islay, as well as the strong flavor of this product. It symbolizes.
Counting backwards, we can predict that the 1999 distilled spirit is the main one, and the characteristic fruity flavor of citrus fruits applies to subsequent batches as well, but the 1999 distilled one has an especially fruity flavor among the late 1990s. There are many releases from popular bottlers, and this first batch is probably the most popular batch in the series, as it is the only one in the series that gives you a glimpse of the 1990s distillation.
