Liquor Whisky Single Malt Murray McDavid (MMD) Bowmore 1999 10yo Bourbon / Syrah (Guigal Cotes Rotie Wine) Cask

The genius of Master Distiller, Jim McEwan, is on full display here as he was the first in modern times to second age single malt expressions in wines casks. Many considered him a lunatic when he aged peated single malts in wine casks. But these same critics have been singing praises ever since! Jim the mastermind had changed the face of whisky maturation forever.

This 10yo peated Islay Bowmore Single Malt Whisky was aged in traditional Bourbon casks and second aged in French Syrah wine casks from the famous Rhōne Valley to give it a cacophony of flavours. Imagine peat smoke, cranberry, plum, cherry and pomegranate invading your palette almost all at once with an exquisite full-bodied finish that makes the tongue sing for more.

This is another limited release with only 2,500 units bottled at 46%. Amazing is an understatement; that is why they are almost impossible to purchase on most online stores worldwide.

This is a non-existent Limited-Edition Expression bottled many years ago. Hence, a certain amount of the liquid may have given itself up as the "Angels Share," and the cork for such old expressions has the propensity to break which is very normal due to this phenomenon. Thus, the drinker must practice due diligence when opening this liquid gold bottle.

Take note that these expressions are sold in "as is" condition due to their age.
