Tasting Notes
A delightful symphony of flavors unfolds in this 16-year-old Bowmore single malt whisky. The nose greets with a whirl of barley sweetness, swiftly followed by waves of rich, smoky aromas that beckon you to dive in. Beneath the veil of smoke, hints of zesty orange and luscious papaya tease the senses. On the palate, tropical fruits take center stage, complemented by a delightful char reminiscent of pineapple kissed by the barbecue's flames. Oak notes lend a subtle warmth, while vanilla custard adds a velvety creaminess. As the flavors linger, a touch of tarry smokiness emerges, accompanied by earthy notes of the forest floor. This exceptional single cask expression, independently bottled by The Character of Islay Whisky Company, showcases the glory of Islay whisky with its smoky allure and nuanced citrus undertones, making it a true delight for the senses.
