Nose
Hessian. Sea air. Smoke. Complex, distinctive and appetising. Palate
Perfumey. Satiny. Mint humbugs. The smokiness of burning grass. Hint of flowering currant. Finish
Hard, salty, liquorice. Comment
Let the flavours unfold. Enjoy the complexity.

Nose
Intensely perfumed, ripe summer fruits, bubble gum and honey melon? Evolving to show base notes of peat and more concentrated fruits. Palate
Delicate to medium bodied. A gentle oliness carries initial bursts of fruit to drier complexities. Finish
Teasing, lingering, quite feminine until Islay smoke kicks in. Comment
An elaborate malt which enhances Bowmore's association with perfume with perfume. Good enough to wear!
