Established in 1779, Bowmore Distillery is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland and nestles on the shores of Loch Indaal on the Inner Hebridean Isle of Islay. Bowmore is universally regarded as the best balanced of all the Islay malts, as characterised by its wonderfully rich and complex flavours.

Review by Paydaymayday
- Color
- Treacled gold
- Nose
- Nose warming. Rich and complex. An initial whiff of peat smoke, but more subdued than the 12 year sibling. Sea salt emerges, followed by a hint of sweet earthy fruits.
- Body
- Full yet initially fleeting. A delicate oiliness pervades afterwards and it is quite pleasant as you begin to notice it.
- Palate
- Buttery and warm. Faded peat from a calm fire. Tart fruit on the verge of being overripe. Tiny hint of salt. Very complex for an Islay.
- Finish
- Long. Tingles the front of the tongue, then migrates to the back of the mouth and glows. Like an old friend that moves away but continues to send loving letters.
It seems I recieved a gift bottle that shows whisky can be the finest of gifts.
