🥃 Bowmore Small Batch – Bourbon Cask Matured (Miniature)

A compact and collectible version of Bowmore’s “Small Batch” bourbon‑cask matured single malt, designed for sampling or collecting.

🧩 Features & Details

• Brand / Expression: Bowmore – Small Batch, Bourbon Cask Matured

• Type: Single Malt Scotch Whisky

• Region / Origin: Islay, Scotland

• ABV: 40%

• Miniature Size: 50 ml

• Maturation / Cask Details: Matured in a mix of first-fill and second-fill ex-bourbon barrels, giving it a light vanilla and oak sweetness alongside Bowmore’s gentle peat smoke

• Status: Discontinued / limited release; “Small Batch” is no longer a core expression

👃 Tasting Notes

• Nose: Sweet vanilla, fresh oak, soft peat smoke, and subtle maritime saltiness

• Palate: Light and smooth — malted barley, mild vanilla, gentle woody spice, and soft smoke

• Finish: Medium-length; oak sweetness lingers with a hint of salt and residual peat

⭐ Independent Review Highlights

• Considered a great entry point into Bowmore’s whisky style, especially for those curious about Islay peat but wanting something more gentle

• Noted for nice balance between sweetness and smoke, thanks to the bourbon cask aging

• The low ABV and smoothness make the miniature version especially approachable

🎁 Presentation & Collectibility

• Ideal For: Collectors of miniature whiskies, Bowmore fans wanting a taste before buying a full bottle, or as a travel / gift sample

• Serving Suggestion: Enjoy neat in a small nosing glass; a few drops of water can open up the oak and vanilla notes

• Collectible Notes:

  • Miniature versions (50 ml) are less common, especially since the expression is discontinued

  • Value depends on bottle condition, fill level, and whether the cap / seal is intact

  • Because it’s a “small batch” that’s no longer produced, these minis may be more sought-after among niche collectors
