Master of Malt Announces Another Quirky Release from ‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company!’

December 21, 2012 by Gary Leave a Comment

The New Bowmore From That Boutique-y Whisky Company

The New Bowmore From That Boutique-y Whisky Company

That Boutique-y Whisky Company’s Bowmore – Batch 1 is a peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the island of Islay, bottled from a selected parcel of whisky without an age statement. The whisky is an excellent after-dinner drink with delectable notes of coastal peat, candied orange peel, and dried fruits.

The bottle is adorned with a hand-illustrated comic book style label featuring a cheeky schoolboy (clutching a bra!) being chased by the lifeguard from Bowmore’s local swimming pool – which is warmed by the waste heat from the distillery’s copper pot stills.

That Boutique-y Whisky Company bottles Single Malt Whisky in the truest sense of the term: a blend of casks of malt whisky from a single distillery.

The whiskies are bottled without age statements for the simple reason that a batch may have some very old whisky in it, but could also have some younger whisky in it as well.

It is available now from Master Of Malt (50cl) at £52.95

That Boutique-y Whisky Company’s Bowmore – Batch 1 (48.7% abv) – Tasting Notes

Nose: Phenolic peat hits the nose first followed by waves of dried fruits – notably sultanas, cranberries, and dates – with a salty afterthought.

Palate: A velvety mouth-feel with drifting peat smoke and hints of iodine. Then there is a rush of candied citrus peels and masses of sherry-soaked dried fruit.

Finish: The finish is long and lingering with notes of pear, dried apricot, and beach bonfire smoke.

Powers – John Lanes 12 Year Old Single Pot Still Blended Whisky
Country: Scotland   Region: Blended
Age: 12 Year Old   Strength: 
Summary: This is a style of Irish Pot I have rarely seen outside the blending lab. I had many times thought of trying to find some of this and bottling it myself. No need now. I think I have just tasted Irish Whiskey of the Year, and certainly one of the top five whiskies of the year.

Vintage: 2011   Bottler: 
Summary: Extremely well constructed and highly complex: full of wood smoke, peppery and spicy, this 12 year old shares much with its immediate predecessors – not least the capacity to instantly defibrillate the taste buds: the texture and taste, both straight and dilute, are splendid.
