- Description
- Bowmore's 1990 vintage underwent an unusual journey: initial bourbon hogshead maturation, transfer to a Pedro Ximénez-seasoned Mizunara cask from Hokkaido, then finishing in virgin Mizunara oak. The result is a rich, spiced palate of chocolate-covered pineapple, hot coals, sandalwood, and salted caramel—smoke and fruit balanced by exotic wood influence. A complex, high-strength dram (49.2%) for those embracing unconventional cask finishing.
