Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep amber for its age, thanks to sherry cask influence; medium-bodied with moderate legs
Nose
Youthful but characterful. Fresh peat smoke, dark chocolate, toffee, and a burst of tropical fruit (mango, green banana). The violet note is fresh and forward. Sherry sweetness adds raisin and brown sugar. Maritime salt spray
Palate
Bold and smoky for a young Bowmore. The sherry cask influence adds richness and darkness beyond its 10 years — dark chocolate, toffee, raisin, and brown sugar. The tropical fruit (mango, green banana) provides brightness against the dark, sweet-smoky backdrop. Peat smoke is more prominent here than in the 12yo, and the violet-lavender note adds its characteristic elegance. Medium-bodied with youthful energy
Finish
Medium finish. Dark chocolate, peat smoke, and toffee fade through brown sugar and maritime salt. The violet note lingers as a floral afterglow. A travel retail expression that offers a darker, more intense take on young Bowmore
