Son prix est de 70€ avec l'intérêt que la plupart des clients de ce type de boutique se détournent généralement des bruts de fût d'où la disponibilité prolongée de ce genre de chose.
Pour info voici les notes données aux versions déjà commentées par les MM:
89 -> Bowmore 15yo 'Laimrig' (50.3%, OB for Sweden, 4500 Bts., 2009)
Publication de Serge sur celui-là ->
This one was matured for 10 years in bourbon and then re-racked for 5 years into sherry. What does ‘Laimrig’ mean? Frankly, we don’t care, do we? Colour: amber. Nose: it seems that we’re rather closer in style to a 100% sherry maturation than to a finishing, as things are prettily integrated. Starts with whiffs of gunpowder (no sulphur as such) and dark chocolate, with a surprisingly big salinity in the background. Goes on with a lot of fresh walnuts and apple peeling and a little leather, with the peat coming to the front after that. Also notes of sultanas and dates. Gets finally seriously medicinal (bandages), with also whiffs of old wine barrels. No traces of odd floweriness. Very nice nose. Mouth: it works surprisingly well (I say surprisingly because of the finishing but is it still a finishing?) A lot of tar and a lot of heavy liquorice (Swedish indeed), then sultanas and cloves, prunes, peat, a little green apple, tobacco and finally ginger. Slight bitterness in the background (grape pips). Finish: very long, with just hints of plain wine now (strawberries) but also a beautiful ashy smokiness and a lot of spices. Comments: balance is perfect. Very assertive. Big and very, very, very well made. Water isn’t obligatory. SGP:557 - 90 points. (thank you Geert and thank you Sweden!

Présentation et commentaires officiels:
Bowmore's Dark Character
Scottish Gaelic for 'pier', Laimrig celebrates Bowmore's ancient stone pier where the distillery's barley would once have been unloaded and our celebrated Single Malt first set sail for the four corners of the world. Finished in the finest Spanish sherry butts, our cask strength, non-chill filtered Bowmore Laimrig has a rich, dark character and colour.
Tasting Notes
On the eye teak brown.
Breathe in sweet dark sherry, figs and cocoa balanced with smoky peatiness and a salty tang.
Sip a rich combination of chocolate, sherry, raisins and smoke.
Savour the long and lingering finish.
