Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
The nose immediately gives Bowmore’s trademark fusion of soft coastal peat smoke and thick tropical fruits, however this whisky goes on, and on, developing into a sensory labyrinth of cigar smoke, harbour rope, grapefruit juice and dark chocolate.
Palate
While the nose alone could keep one contented for hours, the palate is equally phenomenal; initially delicate peat smoke with slight spice before giving an explosion of pineapple and mouth watering guava on the back palate which lingers long on the finish.
Finish
This whisky serves as an affirmation that late 1990s Bowmore is amongst the greatest whisky ever created.
