Bowmore Old Master's Whisky Miniature 1989 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper‑gold highlights and a whisper of mahogany, hinting at sherry‑rich maturation and Bowmore’s smoky warmth.

Nose

Bowmore's maritime peat and iodine rise with sea spray, mingling with glossy sherry notes. Dried figs and dark raisins unfold into vanilla, caramel and cocoa, while leather and toasty oak lend depth. A warm edge of ginger and clove tightens the spice, yet the bouquet remains refined, hinting at an opulent peat–sherry harmony.

Palate

Bold maritime smoke envelops a rich, glossy sherry backbone. Dried fig and raisin mingle with cocoa and espresso, while bright orange zest lifts the palate. The peat stays refined, with mineral saline notes, culminating in a long, warming finish framed by spice and dark chocolate.

Finish

Lingering maritime smoke drapes the palate, with briny sweetness and sherry-softened peat. Notes of dark chocolate, fig, and orange zest fade into a warm, resinous glow, dotted by a whisper of oak and sea spray that lingers long after the swallow.
