The Bowmore The Devil’s Casks Batch 3 is a captivating Islay single malt Scotch whisky, a limited release that continues the legendary series known for its intense sherry cask influence and intriguing folklore. While the previous batches focused on first-fill sherry cask maturation, Batch 3 introduces a compelling twist: a 10-year aging in a combination of first-fill Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks. This maturation in both Oloroso and PX casks creates a complex and nuanced flavor profile, building upon the series’ signature intensity.
This exceptional whisky boasts a seductive and intense character, bursting with notes of ripe berries, rich chocolate, sweet blood orange, and a hint of sea salt, creating a bold and irresistible flavor profile. The combination of Oloroso and PX sherry casks likely contributes to this symphony of flavors, with the Oloroso imparting notes of dried fruit and spice, while the PX adds a layer of rich sweetness and a luscious mouthfeel. Bowmore’s hallmark peat smoke weaves through these decadent notes, adding a layer of complexity and intrigue.
Like its predecessors, The Devil’s Casks Batch 3 is a limited release, with only 6,000 bottles available. This scarcity, combined with the unique cask maturation and compelling flavor profile, makes it a highly sought-after whisky for collectors and Islay aficionados. The whisky is bottled at cask strength and non-chill filtered, preserving its raw intensity and authentic character. It’s a dram that embodies both the rugged beauty of Islay and the decadent allure of sherry, offering a truly memorable whisky experience.
