Bowmore Tempest Limited Edition

[William]

Bowmore will be revealing a new limited edition expression which is unlike any other Bowmore Single Malt - Bowmore Tempest 10 year old will be released on the 14th September 2009.



Bowmore Tempest is a small batch release of only 2,000 cases. It has been matured for ten years in first fill Bourbon casks.

The nose is engulfed by earthy smoke and a sea salt brine. A little water brings out notes of crème brul?e with orange blossom and butter cream.

At first on the palate there is a surprising little burst of citrus, some lemons and orange, then comes the distinct peaty character of Islay, with a taste of the neighbouring sea. The citrus returns at the end adding balance and complexity to the mouthfeel and the finish is long, lingering yet clean.

Kirsteen Beeston, Bowmore Marketing Manager said: "We are so proud to reveal Bowmore Tempest. It's a balanced yet complex dram that really captures the spirit of the distillery on Islay and the craftsmanship that has been applied to make this beautiful tasting single malt."?

Bottles of this special single malt will be priced at £39.99 from all leading whisky specialists and selected retailers.

I cant see any mention of this on the Bowmore site and the Bowmore shop still seems to be offline. Why are even the big distillers like Bowmore so poor and updating their websites, very annoying.
