Description
This Bowmore 10 years old Tempest Release IV has been matured in the finest first fill bourbon barrels, which over time help to bring out Bowmore's trademark peaty smokiness. This non chill-filtered, small batch release from 2012 is a formidable tour de force worthy of the Tempest name.
Tasting Notes
| Nose |
| Distillery: Menthol and sweet coconut fused with toasted vanilla and an ocean breeze. As the liquid ebbs and flows, ripe oranges and kumquat burst from the glass with cedar wood. A splash of water releases tangy seaweed tempered by sweet vanilla ice cream and sugared almonds. |
| Taste |
| Distillery: Bursts of tangy ripe clementines, lemon sherbet and grapefruit. Deeper layers of peppery peat, pistachio and pine nuts are carried by a wave of smooth vanilla. |
| Finish |
| Distillery: Rippling layers of citrus, bourbon vanilla spice and wispy smoke. |
