Bowmore
Tasting Notes
Bowmore 18 Year Old 2002 is a delightful Islay single malt that takes you on a journey through the island's rugged landscapes and coastal charm. The nose greets you with a tantalizing blend of tangy grapefruit zest and a gentle waft of coastal smoke, seamlessly balanced by creamy waves of vanilla. As you take a sip, the palate unfolds with earthy undertones, accompanied by a distinct smokiness and rich vanilla pod notes, while a subtle hint of blackberry brightness adds a delightful twist. The finish lingers with subtle pine notes, flaky sea salt, and a touch of orchard fruit, leaving a lasting impression of Islay's unique terroir. This 18-year-old expression, independently bottled by The Character of Islay Whisky Company, is a true celebration of Bowmore Distillery's craftsmanship and the island's wild beauty.
