Bowmore 21 Year Old Aston Martin - Masters’ Selection Edition 4

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 51.4%

Is it possible for a car designer and whisky distillery to partner together? Bowmore’s Master Blender, Ron Welsh, and Aston Martin’s chief creative officer, Marek Reichman, did, and they’ve created a series of stunning whiskies. This is the final in the series.

This is the fourth and final edition of the collaborative Bowmore Aston Martin Master's Series. It's a 21-year-old single malt matured in a selection of tawny Port American oak casks and oloroso sherry butts for a robust and complex profile, packed with layers of pipe tobacco, salted toffee, grilled orange, milk chocolate, and peat smoke. A cracking way to wrap up a phenomenal series.

Tasting Note

Nose

Rich and complex, balanced between nutty character and sweetness with initial notes of roasted hazelnuts, leather, fresh pipe tobacco, dark chocolate and oak spices. Followed by dark maple syrup, liquorice and charred peaches, with a background of Crème Anglaise, bergamot syrup, subtle sandalwood and light peaty notes.

Palate

Roasted chestnuts, honey sweet with rich salted toffee, grilled Seville orange zest and dry thyme, with sultanas, oak spices, velvety milk chocolate and peat smoke.

Finish

The finish starts with a velvety mouthcoating, then a mouth warming with long drying finish of peat smoke notes.
