Bowmore Bottle No 631 "The Queen's Cask" på auktion

En sjælden Bowmore Islay Single Malt bliver sat på auktion og vil prøve at slå verdensrekorden for højeste bud.
Den der er tale om er: Bottle No 631 "The Queen's Cask".

Grunden til at de vil prøve at slå rekorden er fordi at pengene vil gå direkte til Children's Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS).

Bowmore ejer allerede rekorden for en Islay whisky solgt på auktion. Rekorden er på £14,300 for en flaske Bowmore malt. Martin Green Whisky Consultant vil stå for auktionen den 2 September 2003 ved McTears Auction House Glasgow.

Lidt om Bottle No 631:
Smagsnoter:
"Full ; mellow. On nosing, one may find rich dark chocolate with hints of liquorice and sherry. One is also reminded of wonderful aromas of mountain pine trees. The palate is rewarded with Madeira richness and sweet toffee overtones. The finish is long and fruity."
