Brief Tasting Notes
Three decades of wood maturation have rounded out Bowmore's intense maritime peat smoke, transforming it into a subtle backdrop that beautifully anchors an explosion of vintage, tropical fruit flavors.

• Nose: “Heather honey, bananas and peaches, with pineapple, vanilla and butterscotch.” according to the official tasting profile from Bowmore. It carries a deeply complex aroma that smells like grilled tropical fruits combined with refined wood spices and a whisper of campfire smoke
• Palate: “Tropical fruits with honey sweetness, subtle peat smoke and hints of eucalyptus.” as noted by Bowmore. The mouthfeel is exceptionally silky and heavy, where fruit flavors run riot before revealing old leather and coastal sea glass traits
• Finish: “Mouth warming, with ripe fruits lingering on the tongue.” detailed by Bowmore. It is remarkably long and elegant, slowly fading out on a mix of sweet peat embers and warm kitchen baking spices
