Bowmore 22 Year Old – Aston Martin Masters' Selection Edition 2

The second release in the collaborative Masters’ Selection series by Bowmore and Aston Martin, this 22‑year‑old single malt is a marriage of meticulous craftsmanship from both brands. Released in 2022, it blends spirit distilled in 1997 and 2000, matured in American oak hogsheads and European sherry butts, and finished in tawny port casks, culminating in a luxurious expression bottled at 51.5% ABV.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Elegant and refined, featuring honey, ripe stone fruit, tropical notes like mango and papaya, alongside subtle peat, eucalyptus, dark honey, hazelnut, light tobacco, and sandalwood.

Palate: Rich and layered, with vanilla fudge, dried fruit (apricot, orange peel, dates), spiced tobacco, clove, salted wheat crackers, coconut cream, and a balanced sweetness.

Finish: Long and satisfying, combining lingering peat, salted caramel, green tea, dark chocolate, and an elegant spice presence.

Serving Suggestions:
Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to release deeper fruit and spice tones. Ideal for contemplative sipping or pairing with dark chocolate, aged cheese, or fine tobacco.
