Nose
Surprisingly lively for its age. A complex array of fruit (tangerine, sultana, pink grapefruit, papaya and the general overall citrus DNA that you'll find in old Bowmores), with balancing notes of honey and vanilla. A hint of damp smoke and coconut.
Palate
Texturally soothing, evolving in waves—first sweet honey, coating vanilla and lively fruit, then turning quite visceral, with juicy oak, damp earth, deep peat smoke, and charcoal, followed by another wave of fruit (this time dried fruit).
Finish
Subtle charred oak and roasted nuts.
