Beginning its first 20 years in cask, the spirit was nurtured by american oak hogsheads, creating the signature style of Bowmore. Much like the blacksmiths son, the contents underwent a transformation after maturing in more than just one cask type but further depth was added with two years of further maturation in white port casks, a style of maturation known for its light floral, and fruit notes.
This finessing created a distinctive and powerful, character alluding to, and conjuring up, a sensory exploration of this mythical tale.

Tasting Notes: A parade of white flowers, peaches and lemongrass levitate from the glass; floral notes meld with meadow honey, stewed fruit and figs transporting us to the depths of the fairy hill. These ethereal notes are transformed by the appearance of peat smoke, iodine and minerality that transfix the senses. The unmistakable notes of Bowmore's subtle peat smoke, brine, salt, and spice hark to the smiths' forge, lingering on the palate.
