This particular example is Bottle No. 001, making it the very first numbered bottle from the cask. As with other XOP releases, the whisky was bottled without colouring or chill-filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBowmore from the 1990s has become increasingly sought after, particularly well-aged examples from independent bottlers. The distillery's combination of coastal Islay peat and a notably fruity spirit character can work particularly well with longer maturation, and single casks from this period offer an increasingly rare opportunity to explore mature Bowmore outside the distillery's own bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouglas Laing's tasting notes describe a nose of sea salt and gentle peat smoke, with a rich and warming palate balanced by kiln-dried barley, lemon zest and candy sweets. The finish shows more Islay character with puffs of bonfire smoke, cured meat and sweet barley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note: This bottle is a part of a large batch of bin-ends we recently picked up at a great price, enabling us to pass on savings to our customers.
