Bowmore Mashmen's Selection has been laid down on the 3rd of May 1999 and matured in the finest bourbon barrels, Mashmen's selection recalls the luscious sugary sweetness and fruity flavours first created during mashing and fermentation, coupled with an especially creamy and waxy texture that is characteristic of fermentation in wooden washbacks.
Bowmore
If we go by official dates, Bowmore is Islay’s oldest distillery in operation today, kicking off in 1779. Set in a spectacular location, along the coastline from the village of the same name. Bowmore had a mighty reputation founded on some classic whiskies from the 1960s. These have been released in a series of special editions and thankfully the current distillate is excellent. Somehow, Bowmore mixes the peat of Islay with a coastal vibe that is underpinned by a wonderful fruitiness. Shrouded in history, it also arguably has Scotland’s most famous and atmospheric warehouse in the Vault No.1. Stepping into this and walking through the maturing casks, while the ocean crashes against the outer wall, is well worth the price of admission.
