Maltiply Tasting Profile
Nose
Lightly peated, with that unique Bowmore peat of smoldering campfire, ozone, and dough. A dusty note of a dunnage warehouse pairs with subtle floral aromas, verveine, and garden herbs including mint leaves.
Palate
A bit more peated now, with briny and mineral notes at the front. Citrus fruits, apricot and star fruit represent the fruits, while vanilla and some chocolate add more sweetness.
Finish
Finishes with medium strength peat, light spices (including cumin), distinctive note of jasmin tea, citrus fruits, apricot and a slight minerality.
