- Description
- Bowmore's Tempest Batch 2 is a cask-strength expression of the distillery's distinctive heavily peated character, aged for 10 years in hand-selected casks at 56% ABV. The spirit reveals layers of peat smoke balanced with maritime salt, dark honey, and hints of iodine — a signature Islay profile refined by the careful cask selection. Rich texture coats the palate with a lingering finish that balances smoke with subtle sweetness. This suits committed peat enthusiasts who want complexity beyond the initial smoke.
