Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Pale straw gold with a greenish tinge; light-bodied with thin, quick legs
Nose
Light peat smoke greeting first, then bright lemon zest, green apple, and a whisper of vanilla. Gentle maritime breeze carries faint heather and a hint of violet. Clean and inviting for an Islay malt
Palate
Approachable and gently smoky. Lemon peel, honey, light vanilla, and a soft peaty warmth. The tropical fruit (mango, papaya) that defines Bowmore appears in embryonic form — a background sweetness beneath the smoke. Light-bodied but balanced
Finish
Short to medium finish. Clean peat smoke fades through lemon zest and light honey. A faint floral note (violet) emerges as the smoke clears. Gentle and undemanding — an entry point to Bowmore's character
