82
- Nose
- Immediate smoke and light sootiness. Mint chocolate mixed with Soreen malt loaf.
- Palate
- Fishy.
- Finish
- The slight mustiness of age mingled with rose petal, then smoke descends like a fog. When it lifts there's a flavour akin to old kipper boxes.
- Comment
- Old Bowmore is fascinating: it either becomes light and tropical with no smoke or reduces into this anchovy like concentration.
70
- Nose
- Floral phenols and pencil shavings. Smoker's toothpaste and floral air freshener. Damp autumn leaves and river mud.
- Palate
- Treacle, burnt sugar and cinnamon sticks.
- Finish
- Coffee-like bitterness.
- Comment
- A little mucky on the nose when diluted.
