Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Amber gold with warm copper highlights; medium-bodied with moderate legs
Nose
Peat-forward by Bowmore standards — smoky bonfire embers, charred wood, and earthy peat. The tropical fruit is muted but present (dried mango, smoked papaya). Dark chocolate, espresso, and the violet-lavender note is woven through the smoke like a thread. Maritime brine and warm leather
Palate
The smokiest core Bowmore expression. Peat smoke is rich and full — bonfire embers, charred oak, and an earthy quality rarely seen in Bowmore. But the tropical fruit DNA persists beneath the smoke — dried mango, smoked papaya, and a dark chocolate sweetness. Espresso, leather, and a touch of black pepper. The violet floral note adds unexpected elegance to the smoky intensity. Full-bodied and assertive
Finish
Long, smoky finish. Peat embers and dark chocolate linger alongside dried tropical fruit and leather. The floral violet note persists as an afterglow. More Islay in character than standard Bowmore — bridges toward Lagavulin's earthy elegance while retaining Bowmore's tropical-floral DNA
