87- Nose
- Seems fractionally smokier than the earlier version labelled Bowmore Claret. Peaty. Grassy. Linseed. Leather armchairs. Deliciously evocative.
- Palate
- Rich, fruity, smoky. Lots of flavour development: perfumy fruit, nuts (almonds?), vanilla.
- Finish
- Toffeeish, cedary, oaky, smoky. Long.
- Comment
- After that smoky start, becomes much more toffeeish than most Bowmores. But is this a good thing?

82- Nose
- A dextrous aroma, beautifully sculpted. The peat is even and forms merely a backdrop; in the foreground are rose petals, apple and grape.
- Palate
- A soft, controlled explosion of peat that reaches all parts of the palate.
- Finish
- Only now some age and oak appear, drying out the easy sweetness of the peat malt and grape.
- Comment
- Brilliantly balanced and a fabulous addition to the rich tapestry of Islay malts.
