Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep golden amber with coppery, mahogany undertones.

Nose

Sea spray and iodine mingle with a gentle peat smoke, carried on a maritime breeze. Sherry-cask depth brings fig and raisin, dark toffee and vanilla, with polished oak lending elegance. A touch of citrus zest keeps it bright, epitomising Bowmore’s coastal refinement.

Palate

Silky and layered, the palate opens with coastal brine and a gentle peat echo, then unfolds into refined sherried sweetness—dark dried fruits, orange zest, and espresso chocolate. Nutty oak and spice weave through the mid-palate, delivering polished maturity and a buoyant, elegant structure. The finish lingers with sea-salt, subtle smoke, and warm caramel.

Finish

Long and coastal, the finish carries sea spray and gentle peat, tempered by refined maturation with a soft, lingering note of oak and sweetness.
