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.
A present from a dear friend. Even better than the 15 yr old. And that’s saying something!
Fail product.... 15years is best.
I recon this is the best whisky I have tasted, and, believe me I have tasted a few , it’s mild peaty and yet fruity taste combined with a hint of caramel is just right for me, I would defiantly recommend this whisky.
Beautiful. A gift from a mate for my 50th. Very smooth.
I'm just a redneck from Georgia, USA who enjoys scotch. I ordered this at a trendy restaurant and it was hot sh..tuff! Man, talk about good spirits! If I was in a drinking mood I bet I could suck up half a fifth! Average rating 4 stars? Really!? 5 stars easy! You can't get better than this! You just can't!
