Description
Bowmore Atlantic Sea Salt
“Bowmore Atlantic Sea Salt” is the first release of the Vault Edition. It is bottled at 51.5% cask strength, as also the second release „Bowmore Peat Smoke“. This limited edition represents the salty-maritime flavors, which are accompanied by a very fine hint of smoke. Bowmore does not buy its malt, but runs its own maltings and also an own smoke house, creating a very characteristic peat smoke aroma for their whiskies.
How does it taste?
It comes with aromas of peat coal and glowing wood. With the perfect combination of sweet summer fruits, vanilla and honey flavors, a slightly bitter cocoa note and of course the maritime note of the no. 1 Vault Warehouse Bowmore created here a profound single malt, which is the perfect choice for lovers of complex whiskies with a slight smoke content.
Bowmore and the Vault Edition
The four whiskies of this series are dedicated to the legendary warehouse “No. 1 Vault”, which is considered the oldest whisky warehouse in the world. It was built in 1779 and is partially below sea level. This creates a special maritime atmosphere, which also diffuses into the stored barrels and so adds special characteristic maritime, salty-mineral flavors.
Many famous and some over 50 years old Bowmore creations mature in this warehouse.
And that’s where also the Vault Editions comes from. The 4 strictly limited bottlings are each characterized by one of the 4 main flavors of Bowmore whiskies: salty / maritime, smoky, fruity and sweet. The Vault Edition is an interesting series that gracefully represents Bowmore’s repertoire in a sophisticated whisky collection.

This is one of my favorite. I am a big fan of smokey and salty whiskys. And I tried several oft hem, for example Taliskers or also other Island whiskies. But the Atlantic Sea Salt has a particular fine combination of both. And still the oak aromas are also noticeable. I think this is a a worthy bottle for the Bowmore distillery series. I will definitely try the next ones too.

Dear Adriana, thank you for your comment on this! Much appreciated. We are all looking forward to the next releases. The second one is already on the market. So you could get the Bowmore Vault Edition No. 1 – Second Release “Peat Smoke” now. Like the name says, it stands for the peaty flavors. The other two bottles will come to the market in future… I am also very curious about these Bowmore creations! Enjoy the other two so far! Cheers!

Smoky-spicy Whiskies of the Vault No. 1 are always a good choice. I had already some of them, like the 18-year-old single malt, which is also great or the wilder Tempest. The Atlantic Sea Salt is a nice complex dram with a great chocolate finish. And – I am collecting Bowmores! So, this one had to be on my shelf. Thanks for the suggestion!

Ich liebe Bowmore Whiskys, besonders diese torf-salzige Kombination mit dem süßen Geschmack von Brombeeren und Schokolade zum Schluss… Habe beschlossen, die Bowmore-Destillerie-Serie zu sammeln. Daher werde ich dann wohl bald eine zweite Flasche brauchen zum aufzubewahren. 😉
Übrigens, vielen Dank für Ihren tollen Service! Die Bestellung bei Whisky4you macht immer wieder Spass. Tolle Beratung, sehr persönlich, ich fühle mich auf jeden Fall als Kunde geschätzt! (kleiner Tipp: doppelte Eingabe der Kreditkarte bei der Reservierung wäre könnte man eventuell anders organisieren)

Bowmore Atlantic Sea Salt, 51,5 %vol,
Goldenes Sonnenlicht im Glas, sehr mild in der Nase, sehr kräftiger würziger Antritt am Gaumen, trotz der Fass-Stärke überraschend mild… Sehr wenig Raucharomen… Auch wenig ” Schokolade” am Gaumen, was daraus vermuten läßt, dass es ein relativ jungen Whisky ist… Nach einer ganzen Weile kommt ein ganz wenig Rauch am Gaumen… Ein ganz angenehmer Whisky…
Die Abwicklung war sehr gut, sehr freundlich, umgehender Versand… gerne wieder 🙂
