Limited Edition
Matured for nigh-on two decades, this is a fruit-dominant Bw bottling from a pair of ex-bourbon hogsheads. Perhaps the best Bw so far…

Tasting notes
-
Nose
Equally balanced between fresh lemon and orange notes and smoke. There is some smoked-fish aromas, too, along with savoury olive tapenade and pineapple. -
Palate
Lime zest and citrus fruits merging with light peat smoke and more tropical fruit. Strong emphasis on the fruit with this dram. -
Finish
The fruit outweighs the smoke, with a dry note right at the death.

-
Lemon candy, tinned pineapples and faint tangerine. Sweet and fruity Bowmore.

Tropical fruits galore are the backbone of this whisky. This is excellent, if only the bottles were bigger…
