A comparatively recent release from Bowmore, the 18 year old was launched in January of 2007 to replace the 17 year old. A perfumed, fruity offering from the Islay distillery.
Pungent, citrus. Stewing fruit, hints of damp wood and a very soft smoke.
Spirity at first, then gives way to perfume, fruit, plum jam. A good sweetness, peat smoke, grapey.
Seville marmalade, blossom, dark peat.
It’s great. It’s excellently balanced and complex, but it needs time. The reason why it may sometimes get a lower score is because it’s 18 years, it looks dark, but it’s just not that intense. Take your time with this and you will truly enjoy and appreciate it.
Nicest whisky I've ever had. So peaty, so smokey but still manages to be smooth. A real step up on the 12 (which i also really really like)
Tasted it yesterday, and I gotta say I was quite disappointed with this dram. While Bowmore 12 and 15 are amongst my favorite, Bowmore 18 has nothing different to offer than the 12. I'm glad I got to try it before I bought the actual bottle (128 CAD). It's worth keeping your money for something else, IMO.
Islay single malt, smakar fruktigt för att sedan övergå i en tydligare rökig eftersmak än den 12-åriga men svagare än 15-åriga. Vinner på ett par droppar vatten och är den bästa Bowmore jag smakat.
If I have to choose one, this is it!
