Eldvatten Svenska Bowmore 11 Years Old Single Malt Cat Label 2015 57,8% Vol. 0,7l

The Eldvatten Svenska Bowmore 11 Years Old 2015 is a limited-edition single-cask bottling of an Islay single malt Scotch whiskey, selected by the Swedish independent bottler Svenska Eldvatten. The whiskey was distilled in 2015 at the Bowmore Distillery on the Scottish island of Islay and, after 11 years of aging, bottled at a robust 57.8% ABV, or cask strength. Bowmore is one of Islay’s most historic distilleries and was founded as early as 1779. The distillery is characterized by a blend of maritime island character, peat smoke, and a comparatively balanced malt base. In this independent bottling, the individual cask takes center stage, setting it apart from the distillery’s regular original bottlings.

Visually, the Bowmore 11 Years Old Cat Label is one of Svenska Eldvatten’s distinctive “Cat” editions, which are of particular interest to collectors of independent Scotch whisky bottlings. The combination of the 2015 vintage, 11 years of aging, and 57.8% cask strength offers an intense interpretation of the Bowmore distillate. Svenska Eldvatten was founded in 2011 and focuses on selecting characterful whiskey casks, which are bottled in small batches. Especially with a Bowmore single malt at cask strength, the individual character of each bottling remains particularly pronounced. At 0.7 liters, this Islay whisky from Svenska Eldvatten combines high alcohol content, long maturation, and the striking Cat Label to create a distinctive collector’s bottling.
