Tasting Notes

Bowmore's 18 Year Old 2001 release is a captivating Islay whisky that transports you to the windswept shores of its island home. The nose is a delightful symphony of cooked autumnal fruits like blackberries and red apples, harmoniously balanced by sooty smoke notes. On the palate, a burst of tropical mango and papaya brightens the senses, complemented by the rich oakiness that lingers pleasantly. Beneath this fruity and smoky tapestry, hints of perfumed barley add depth and intrigue. The finish is a delicate dance of soft salinity and a pinch of paprika spiciness, leaving a lingering warmth on the taste buds. This cask-strength gem from The Character of Islay Whisky Company truly encapsulates the rugged beauty and maritime character of Islay's whiskies.
