Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a warm honey glow.
Nose
Peat smoke and sea spray form a maritime backbone, with bright citrus zest lifting the aroma. Virgin oak delivers opulent vanilla, toasted spice, and a hint of coconut, weaving through the smoke in creamy, resinous layers. At cask strength, the nose is bold, inviting, and richly expressive.
Palate
Oil-rich and full-bodied, this Bowmore unfurls a maritime smoke with sea-salt clarity. Virgin oak mingles with vanilla at cask-strength warmth, while lemon zest threads through cocoa, dried fruit and coconut sweetness. Spiced oak drives the mid-palate, finishing with warm pepper, ash and a long, saline fade.
Finish
Long, decadent finish with vanilla and honeyed caramel from virgin oak, over a bed of Bowmore peat. Coastal salt and subtle spice trail away, leaving a warm, resinous oak lingering and a final whisper of chocolate.
