Whiskyland Chapter 06 Islay Single Malt (Bowmore) 1985 38 Year Old
This is a single, refill barrel of an Islay single malt that we have dubbed ‘Flowermore’. It was distilled in 1985, aged for 38 years and bottled at natural cask strength. Â
As any visitors to Whiskyland will be aware, Flowermore is a curious single malt, renowned for producing some of the world’s worst whisky during the 1960s and early 1970s, it miraculously recovered for a violet-flavoured quality boom in the 1980s. This is one such cask of that amazing liquid. Â
One of the very best 1980s Flowermore you are ever likely to taste! Soft violets, exotic fruits, intricately detailed peat smoke and less perfume than a branch of Boots that’s been hit with a 50-megaton Tsar bomb! Â
