Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with warm copper highlights.
Nose
Coastal peat and iodine lead the aroma, scented with sea breeze and a whisper of ash. Vanilla and toffee unfold alongside lemon zest and orchard fruit, underscored by gentle oak and bourbon-spice. A maritime, smoke-kissed nose that perfectly captures Bowmore’s Islay allure.
Palate
Powerful maritime peat and sea-salt smoke ride a backbone of vanilla caramel from the refill bourbon. Citrus zest and toasted oak weave through the mouth, paving a warm, peppery finish that lingers with coastal, smoky elegance.
Finish
Long, maritime finish with coastal peat and sea-salt hints. Bourbon-driven vanilla and caramel weave through the smoke, then drift into warm spice and oak, leaving a silky, lingering glow that echoes Islay for a moment longer.
