Over the 21 Years that this Aberfeldy single malt has been lying in cask, it has grown ever more mellow, rich, fruity and honeyed. This has not gone unnoticed by the Angels, who have by now helped themselves to about half of what was originally in each cask.
What The WSD thinks: Cottage garden spring flowers becoming more intense all the time. Tropical fruit essence on the palate with lashes of grapefruit, mango and banana. 
The Distillery say they have created this Bowmore Legend to honour their home and capture its essence. Crafted from a selection of the finest bourbon barrels, which over time help to bring out the perfectly balanced, delicious citrus and gentle smoky character.
The distillery say this is made using a unique blend of botanicals with subtle notes of berry giving an intensely smooth taste to this beautifully made gin. Brockmans is Like No Other gin. It stands proudly alone from the many other types of gin due to the unique recipe of exquisite botanicals and the patient steeping distillation process. To make Brockmans, exquisite botanicals are sourced from all over the world. These include some typical ingredients such as angelica from Saxony, Bulgarian coriander and juniper berries from Tuscany. The more traditional notes of gin are combined with a refreshing influence of citrus and aromatic wild berry. This creates an intensely smooth gin with a beautifully crafted taste that is sensual and daringly different.
The botanicals are blueberries, juniper, blackberries, cassia bark, liquorice, lemon peel, corriander, angelica, orange peel, almonds and orris.
