Tasting Notes
Colour
Dark coppery amber with ruby-red highlights, a wine-kissed glow that glints through the glass.
Nose
Dark fruit perfume layered with coastal smoke and velvet sweetness. Ripe blackberry and plum mingle with cherry and red berries, carried by velvety spice and a hint of port. Subtle maritime peat, cacao, and toasted oak emerge, lending refined balance and an elegant, lingering aroma.
Palate
Velvety and layered, the palate delivers dark fruit depth—black cherry, plum and fig—carried by ruby port sweetness. Maritime smoke lingers gently, paired with warm spice (cinnamon, clove) and suave oak. Balanced and elegant, it coats the mouth with a smooth texture, finishing long with fruit, smoke, and a subtle saline lift.
Finish
Ruby Port blankets Bowmore's sea-salted peat with lush sweetness. Dark fruit compote—blackberry, plum, fig—meets velvety spice and toasted oak, softening the smoke. The finish lingers with refined sweetness and a salted coastal glow, keeping the Islay character elegant and balanced.
