Awards

Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 22 by Michael Jackson and Dave Broom.

Whisky Magazine is the perfect complement to the dram in your glass. Every issue brings you fascinating articles on the art, science and romance of the 'water of life', plus page after page of tasting notes.

Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Emphatic burnt grass. Peaty. Soft smokiness.
Palate
Fragrant smokiness seems to waft against an oily, earthy, background. Some seaweed. Some sherry.
Finish
Not only is the smokiness sustained all the way through, it surges in the finish. Lots of salt, too.
Comment
Glad to see a Bowmore with an age rather than a brand-name.

Dave Broom

Nose
Attractive, perfumed fairly intense maritime nose: dark chocolate, orange peel, quite buttery with dry lavender-tinged smoke.
Palate
Rounded, and soft, then it dries half-way as the peaty notes (hessian, smoke) take over, then comes flowers, parma violet, rose and always those soft fruits.
Finish
Nut and fragrant smoke. Light touch of buttered kippers (a breakfast dram?)
Comment
Great balance between dry smoke and soft fruits.
