Hunter Laing, Kinship 2021

Bowmore 1989 (33YO)

47.7% ABV

The first edition from the 2022 Kinship collection, commemorating the Feis Ile Festival of 2022. Distilled at Islay’s Bowmore distillery and aged for 33 years. Bottled from a refill bourbon hogshead at its natural cask strength of 44.7%, with an outturn of 247 bottles. 

Tasting Notes:

Soft peat reek, seaweed & creamy fudge on the nose, along with pickled ginger, dill & leather notes. Beautifully elegant on the palate with the peat more pronounced, slowly evolving into a wonderfully long, focused and elegant finish.
