Whisky Single Malt 'Surf' Bowmore - 100cl

The Whisky "Surf" Bowmore 8 Years is one of the sons of the village 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. The Surf 8 years 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. The famous Bowmore rooms are the place where the whiskey spends almost all his life in the Spanish and American oak barrels that give flavor to the taste and softness during maturation. Peat, water, wood, people and tradition come together to create the elegant, cozy and smoky character of Bowmore whiskey. The surf eight years has a rich amber color and aroma of malt, tobacco, fruit, lavender, peaty. The taste is fruity, vanilla, herbaceous, peaty, citrus, balanced. The soft aftertaste with a long finish.
