Tasting note

Nose

The first surprise is the sweetness, in the form of cornflakes with sugar. The barley malt is evident and provides the solid base. Peat we also smell, but more in the distance along with the sherry cask. What perfect harmony this is. Even fresh notes of lime and tropical fruit are detected. Hint of mint to finish it off.

Taste

Juicy is the first thing mentioned. Classic Bowmore from the 1970s, Old School Islay. Chimney with light honey tones. Fruitiness without overdoing it and nice dirt. Field flowers and oranges ash and burnt newspapers. No thick peat, but elegant smoke notes. Hint of seaweed, but more the briny character.

Finish

Long finish with white pepper, milk chocolate and mild smoke.

Important information

There is some wear to the box and the fill level is low in the neck, as shown in the photos. Get in touch if you want more images.
