A Letter From Paul Jacques

lines

Greetings from the snowy waterfront.

Over recent weeks, the Boston Harbor Hotel has served as a safe haven for many travelers snowbound in our city. We always work hard to accommodate those who need a place to stay.

There’s much to do while waiting out a storm. The 22nd annual Boston Wine Festival is underway, and every week this winter the hotel will be hosting special receptions and dinners that celebrate food and wine pairing. We’re offering special rooms packages too. Bring your family for a weekend getaway or start making those special plans for Valentine’s Day. It’s a few weeks away.

And back to thoughts of snow, we have found a new, particularly effective way to pamper you this winter season. The Spa at Rowes Wharf is offering a Soothe After Shoveling Massage that is certain to work out the aches and pains brought on from digging out.

So come inside and experience all that winter on the waterfront can be at the Boston Harbor Hotel. We look forward to your arrival.

Warm regards,
Paul J. Jacques
General Manager

Featured Scotch

Bowmore 12 Year Scotch

lines

bulletFeatured Scotch

lines

Bowmore is a Single-Malt Scotch produced in the capital of Islay (pronounced “eye-la”) located off the west coast of Scotland on the shores of Loch Indaal in the Hebrides Islands. The distillery is one of the oldest on the island founded in 1779. They are also one of the very few that still malt the barley on site, whereas most others outsource this process. Bowmore has the unique distinction of having won more awards than any other single malt whisky. The present owners of Bowmore have donated one of their warehouses to the community for a swimming pool that is heated by the distillation process.

The aromas of the Bowmore single malt are reminiscent of the sea, briny and coastal. You also smell hints of smoke and peat with a touch of lemon, orange and mango. As the Scotch glides down your throat, warming your body, you taste floral notes with a little cocoa, peat and vanilla finishing with candied oranges and a touch of smoke. This 12 year old is a classic you shouldn’t miss.
