Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Amber gold with warm copper tones; medium-full body with moderate legs
Nose
Classic aged Bowmore with festival spirit. Rich tropical fruit (mango, papaya), dark chocolate, gentle peat smoke, and the signature violet-lavender floral note. Sherry influence adds dried fruit and warming spice. Maritime brine and old oak
Palate
Celebratory and full-flavoured. The 19 years have produced a whisky approaching the 18yo's balance but with cask-strength intensity. Mango, dark chocolate, gentle peat smoke, espresso, dried fig, and soft leather. The violet-lavender note is prominent and beautiful. Maritime salt and cedar. Full-bodied with excellent integration despite the high strength
Finish
Long, satisfying finish. Peat smoke, dark chocolate, tropical fruit, and violet-lavender florals in well-balanced harmony. Maritime brine and cedar wood linger. A fitting festival exclusive that showcases Bowmore's best qualities at full strength
