Bowmore Kranna Dubh Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 30 Year Old · 1976 Vintage

Colour

Deep, burnished amber with mahogany depth and coppery glints.

Nose

Coastal peat and smoke rise with sea-salt and iodine, tempered by rich sherry. Dried fig and prune mingle with cocoa, espresso, and toffee, while velvety oak and vanilla add warmth. A briny whisper and leather lend gravitas, finishing with long, refined smoke and a sweet, persistent fruit core.

Palate

Silky and substantial on the palate, this Bowmore delivers a measured blaze of peat smoke and sea-salt, balanced by opulent dried fruit and dark chocolate. Sherry cask richness glows with orange zest and toffee, while subtle spice and oak threads linger, leaving a refined, long-smoked finish.

Finish

Long, smoky finish with oceanic bite and a kiss of sherry sweetness. Peat lingers alongside dried fig, cocoa and espresso, wrapping the palate in a warm, maritime glow that fades to a velvet, persistent echo of Bowmore’s Islay soul.
