Notes
Bowmore is the capital of Islay. Its namesake distillery lies on the shores of Loch Indaal. It’s one of the few to retain its own malting house, which provides the peated barley used to make the whisky.
The nose immediately gives Bowmore’s trademark fusion of soft coastal peat smoke and thick tropical fruits. However, this whisky goes on and on, developing into a sensory labyrinth of cigar smoke, harbour rope, grapefruit juice and dark chocolate. While the nose alone could keep one contented for hours, the palate is equally phenomenal: initially, it gives delicate peat smoke with slight spice before an explosion of pineapple and mouth-watering guava on the back palate, which lingers long on the finish. This whisky serves as an affirmation, if it were required, that late 1990s Bowmore is amongst the greatest whisky ever created.

This landmark 1988 vintage has never been re-casked. It has matured over 30 years in warehouses in the same wood it was originally filled into – refill bourbon and, unusually, rare refill squat hogsheads. It was always understood that this small parcel of casks required no interference, no guiding hand; just a watchful eye and … Continued

Bacon straight away, but that then fades and gives way to warm bonfire, sweet tobacco and just a note of rubber. With more time in the glass treacle, cereal and pleasant soapiness. The palate is lead by sweet fruit and honey, then peppery heat, and an oily, woodsmoke finish. A complex and evolving whisky.

Delicate honey with dried flowers on the nose, all tied up with a very pleasant, nostalic wave of malt extract. A sip takes you on a wee journey past honey, through little peaks of citrus, into a calm valley of malt. Citrus returns at the end to ask about your trip…
