Embark on a journey into the realm of rare Scotch whisky with this exceptional Bowmore, bottled by the renowned Italian bottler, Sestante, exclusively for Ristorante il Carato, an enoteca in the town of Brescia. This particular release is part of a series that Sestante bottled for Il Carato, showcasing the distinctiveness of Bowmore in a truly unique way.
Sestante, founded in the 1970s by Ernesto Mainardi, gained fame for its exceptional single-cask bottlings. In 1985, Mainardi, alongside contemporaries like Silvano Samaroli, pioneered offering customers a choice between standard 40-46% ABV bottlings and cask strength releases from the same casks. This approach provided enthusiasts with a unique opportunity to experience the same whisky at different strengths, catering to a diverse range of preferences.
The collaboration between Sestante and Ristorante il Carato adds an extra layer of exclusivity to this Bowmore release. Il Carato, known for its curated selection of rare and exceptional whiskies, received bespoke bottlings from Sestante, creating a special connection between the restaurant and the renowned Italian bottler.
