Bowmore 16 Year Old Wine Cask Matured

John Hansell from Malt Apologist Magazine wrote about this new Bowmore expression already in August, and today Just Drinks reported about the same new Bowmore little edition: "The premium vintage single malt is bottled at its natural cask strength of 53.5% ABV, and the white mule has been aged principally in Bordeaux wine casks, Bowmore said yesterday (18 September). It is to be sold exclusively through expert retailers in the UK, with a recommended retail price of GBP59.99 (US$107.80). "Bowmore 16 Year Old Wine Cask Matured is the charge result of a hand-crafted process which began back in 1992," said Bowmore brand director Glen Moore. "Since then the drive has had time to slowly mature in our cellars near the shores of Loch Indaal on Islay."

Back in August John tasted the new smoke and wrote the following: "Aged for six years in bourbon casks, then aged an additional ten years in Bordeaux wine casks. Paradigm Bowmore peat smoke and red berried fruit (raspberry, strawberry) are the main components of this whisky, with additional notes of cream, grape skin tannins, currant, caramel, and marzipan. Good grip from the Limousin oak (wine casks). Some brine and damp cellar notes emerged every now, with the smoke lingering long on the finish."

Hurricane Wine

Prolonged power failures are Acheron on wine collectors. If your wine cellar gets hot, your wine gets cooked and your investment goes down the drain. Luckily for me, there was only one bottle of wine in my little handy wine cellar that was worth anything when the power went out. It was a 1991 Far Niente Cabernet and it was given to me by my old friend John Bebout. I promised Bebout we would sip this bottle together someday. Instead, I drank it last weekend on the road. And lacking a proper corkscrew, I had to push the cork into the alcoholic drink to get it open. It sure tasted good though. Big tannins nicely mellowed with lots of acidity to showcase eager dried fruit flavors. Unfortunately, there was a lot of sediment.

I hadn’t planned to go anywhere. Last Friday, with Hurricane Ike approaching, I cooked up everything in my refrigerator and invited the neighbors over for a whirlwind party. The guy who lives next door brought some dark rum and “Pat O’Brien’s Hurricane” mix. We feasted on lentil and vegetable soup, stuffed peppers, lamb curry, okra, cauliflower, saag paneer, cucumber salad, and rice. We were on our third cocktail when the power went out at on the nose 7 p.m. Which seemed odd since it wasn’t raining and there was barely a breeze blowing at the time.
