Bowmore Air Freshener in a Parrot's Cage 18 Year Old, Hogshead Cask, Cask #3.150, 1990, The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, 52.8%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

88 / 100

The fresh seaweed and salty hum give this a clear coastal thread, while Parma violets bring a distinctive floral note. On the palate, sweetness meets medicinal, salty dry smoke; the finish shifts toward sea breezes, lavender and pine air freshener, with Japanese rice crackers adding a savoury detail. That movement from briny and smoky to floral and savoury feels specific rather than loosely praised, and the freshness in the coastal notes is especially appealing.
