Palate: Luxuriously smooth and incredibly layered, delivering flavours of dried fruits, caramelised citrus, toffee, roasted nuts, and soft vanilla. The characteristic Bowmore peat emerges subtly, complemented by sea salt, oak spice, and elegant floral notes.
Finish: Exceptionally long and sophisticated, with lingering tropical fruit, sweet oak, gentle smoke, and a touch of coastal salinity.
