Date of tasting: 27/9 2007
Apperance: Deep copper Nose: Sweet with some prickle. Medicinal notes, diesel oil, scorched plastic, citric fruits, lavendar and some smoke. Diluted dram lends incense fumes, raisins, solvent elements and some peat. Quite sharp.
Body: Light to medium, a little oily.
Palate: Sweet start. Pleasant palate with decent finish but not very complex. Nice and uncomplicated Islay notes with balanced smoked flavours, dryness sweetness and some fruits.
Comments: Opens up more with some resting in the glass.

The second tasting's conclusion was that the enthusiastic quotation of the first one was slightly exaggerated. Smoke and peat are still present, but more discrete than the first time, and the finish seemed shorter.

This Bowmore with its smoky ant peaty hints gives very pleasant sensations. Unlike older versions, the violet hint is not present. This malt is more classical, but the salted sea stays present. An excellent long finish extends the pleasure for a while. It's price is also very nice. An essential bottle.

A sweet nose, clearly fruity (pear) very pleasant and complex, announces a very good whisky.
In the palate, some oily feeling with peaty and smoley hints seem to dominate the fruits announced by the nose.
A very nice finish, lingering and marked by a pleasant mix of peat and ripe fruits. A quite nice version from that distillery.
