Bowmore Feis Ile 2010 Tempest Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old · 2000 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber with a warm copper-gold glow and subtle mahogany undertones.

Nose

Bold maritime nose: peat smoke, sea-salt and iodine rise from the glass, lifted by sherry-resin and vanilla. Dark fruits—fig and blackberry—with orange peel and a touch of toffee. Cocoa and cedar deepen the aroma, while a subtle alcohol warmth reinforces the whisky’s robust, cask-driven bouquet.

Palate

Powerful, coastal peat drives the palate, mingling with sea-salt brine and bright citrus zest. Sherry-influenced richness unfolds as dried fig, dark chocolate and toffee, balanced by vanilla and oak. A warming, peppery spine from the 55.3% ABV carries through a long, smoky finish.

Finish

Long, maritime finish where Bowmore's peat threads through a sherry-kissed sweetness. Smoke lingers with coastal salt, dark fruit, and cocoa, slowly giving way to warm spice and toasted oak that echo across the palate.
