Bowmore
Whisky launches partnership with River
Cottage’s John Wright and Gill Meller.
Bowmore Single Malt whisky has teamed up
with John Wright, the UK’s leading
foraging expert, and top chef Gill
Meller, both from Hugh
Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage,
to launch a series of delicious seafood
and dessert recipes to match perfectly
with Islay’s first Single Malt.
Created
especially by the duo using forageable
ingredients, the recipes and
collaboration further cement the
whisky’s natural partnership with food
and the outdoors.
 Complex yet perfectly balanced, Bowmore
12 Years Old reflects the raw essence of
Bowmore and Islay, its magical island
home off the west coast of Scotland.
With its subtle notes of lemon and
honey, complemented beautifully by
Bowmore’s trademark peaty smokiness,
Bowmore 12 Years Old’s natural partner
is seafood.
Kirsteen Beeston, Head of Brands at
Morrison Bowmore Distillers, adds:
"We’re really excited to be further
establishing Bowmore’s relationship with
food and the outdoors with the foraging
activity. The partnership with Gill and
John is a great fit for the brand, we
hope the recipes will inspire consumers
to enjoy whisky and food in a fresh and
innovative way."
Surrounded by the unpolluted waters of
the Atlantic, this elemental island is
home to some of the finest and most
sought after seafood in Europe, such as
salmon, langoustines, scallops and
oysters. Having explored Islay, John
Wright and Gill Meller have developed
these mouth-watering recipes.
Bowmore Whisky Recipes:
John and Gill have also created two
inspired chocolate dishes to pair with
the much-awarded expression
Bowmore 15 Years Old 'Darkest'. Matured
in boubon casks, followed by three years
inOloroso sherry casks, the result is a
rich, deep expression with a warming
finish.
Although delicious on its own, the dark
chocolate brings out its rich fruitiness
and the trademark Bowmore smokiness.
Bowmore Whisky Chocolate Dessert Recipes:
Bowmore’s collaboration with Paul A
Young will also continue through 2012.
For one of the darkest and most magical
nights of the year – Bonfire Night – the
groundbreaking Master Chocolatier is
creating the perfect hot chocolate serve
using Bowmore 15 Years Old ‘Darkest’.
The expression is incorporated into a
dark chocolate ganache bon bon, which
the consumer then stirs into the hot
chocolate drink and watches as the
ganache and whisky melt away.
