Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep burnished gold with amber highlights; rich, viscous appearance with slow, thick legs suggesting maturity and depth
Nose
Complex and refined. The peat has softened to a warm, aromatic smokiness that frames rather than dominates. Rich tropical fruit — ripe mango, papaya, passion fruit — intertwined with dark chocolate, espresso, toffee, and leather. The signature violet-lavender floral note is at its most elegant here, joined by sandalwood and a hint of incense. Maritime air and old oak
Palate
The masterpiece of the Bowmore core range. Every element in perfect balance — tropical fruit (mango, passion fruit) and gentle peat smoke form the core, enriched by dark chocolate, espresso, soft leather, and cedar wood. The violet-lavender floral note provides an ethereal counterpoint to the earthiness. Creamy toffee, orange peel, and subtle sherry sweetness. Full-bodied, silky, and profoundly layered
Finish
Long, distinguished finish. Peat smoke drifts through dark chocolate, tropical fruit, and the lingering violet-lavender signature. Leather, cedar, and a whisper of incense emerge in the final moments. Warm and endlessly complex — among the finest value propositions in aged Islay whisky
