This is a 17-year-old Bowmore from Islay, distilled in 2004 and bottled by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society from cask 3.338. A single ex-bourbon hogshead gave 260 bottles, each in a 70cl size.
The name, 'Spice of the Angels', is the Tuscan term for fennel pollen, which turns up in the tasting notes once water is added. The whisky is described as smoky and punchy.
The nose brings blooming roses, fresh varnished wood and peach and mango tobacco. The palate is textured and cool, with menthol and a sweet smokiness. The long finish ends with a kick of Caribbean hot sauce. Water opens up floral smoke with marram grass and fennel pollen.
