Another typical Bowmore. The long finish of this cask strength is very pleasant. The art of Bowmore is to give a pleasant taste, something like"sugar-smoky" to a very strong whisky, which should burn the tongue, but which flatters it.

Colour: Red golden copper
Nose: A very funny and somewhat irritating mix: Yoghurt, crushed black pepper, old leather armchairs, also wet newspaper, rubber, dark pipe tobacco (latakia), shower gel, marmalade, cigar ash and citrus peel. But the melange, the recipe seems wrong, all in all very interesting but not fascinating, somehow not right weighted.
Taste: without water very full, firm and malty, smoke and burnt sugar, but here also the sour cream (alas! not lemon or other citrus notes, for me it's yoghurt, sour cream or something like diary cheese) takes its place and leaves a mixed impression. With water there is some perfumed soap notes added.
Finish: Long, warm and peppered, like the whole dram it is very multilayered and complex: There is now brown sugar and squee! zed grapes added, we finally leave that diary shop and enjoy those still somewhat confusing last impressions.
Conc.: This is a very complex, interesting and for sure not boring dram. I would accept this bottle without problems if it were an independent single cask bottling. My advice is: Get a bottle and there will be plenty to discuss with your friends.... But unfortunately this is not my cup of tea

2008The second revealed the contrast between the smoothness and the (cask)strength of this nice whisky from the very first nosing.
In the palate, the wonderful little liquorice taste is emphasised by the alcohol degree, and lets a great memory of iodine and perfumed peat.
An interesting finish.
2004The third nosing revealed a mix of sweat and violet perfume, with some marine hints, seaweed and sea spray on the background.
The mouth is clearly dominated by pronounced hints of violet ans some malty notes.
A nice finish, rather long, but still dominated by those typical notes of a certain era of Bowmore...
