Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Fragrant with clean cereal notes. Heather, peat smoke and lanolin (woolly jumpers). Dried thyme. Young.

Palate: Mid-weight with tangerine and incense in the mid-palate mixed with fragrant smoke which builds towards the back of the mouth.

Finish: Good length, quite juicy.

Comment: A fine introduction to peated Islays and a good session malt.

Score: 8

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Fresh peat smoke.

Palate: Seems very tame at first, with a cookie-like maltiness, but the characteristic ferny lavender, fragrant smoke and sea air gradually emerge.

Finish: Sweet smokiness. With water, late saltiness. honey-roast peanuts.

Comment: A light, smooth, Bowmore that might attract younger drinkers.
