Working closely with The Whisky List, we gave Angus a fairly simple brief: a great distillery, at least 20 years old, cask strength and, most importantly, absolutely delicious whisky. No marketing fluff, no gimmicks, just exceptional single malt Scotch.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnd Angus delivered with a stunning 2004 vintage Bowmore, aged 22 years and bottled at natural cask strength of 57.2% ABV.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eDrawn from the same parcel of sister casks as the hugely popular Old Islay Bowmore 21YO, this release has been matured in a combination of a second-fill bourbon hogshead and first-fill sherry barrique.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2004 vintage is considered one of Bowmore's most sought-after modern vintages, particularly among enthusiasts who appreciate the distillery's famously exotic, tropical fruit character. No soap here, just an abundance of pineapple, grapefruit, mango, coastal minerality and gentle peat smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the more heavily peated Islay malts, mature Bowmore often develops a beautifully restrained smokiness, allowing its tropical fruits, honeyed sweetness and elegant coastal character to shine. The smoke adds another layer of complexity rather than dominating the experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then there's the label! Angus has clearly been doing his homework on Australia's rather notorious native wildlife ahead of his first trip to our shores. The result is a wonderfully entertaining label created especially for this Australian release.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAngus McRaild's Tasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft woodsmoke, sandalwood and crystallised exotic fruit notes.
