“Peach and cereal bars are complemented by a light smokiness and creamy caramel on the complex nose. Round and smooth in the mouth, the flavor of smoked pecans, baked apricots and earthy buckwheat all meld seamlessly. Notes of creamy coffee and tobacco leaf stay on in the finish.”
“Cosseted away in the finest, hand-selected oak casks and allowed to mature at its own sedate pace, this is one of the most remarkable, perfectly balanced malts of its kind. One of their rarest most exceptional bottlings, the stocks of Bowmore 18 Years Old may be limited but there’s no end to its enjoyment. A beautiful combination of ripe fruit, dark chocolate, and light Islay smoke.”
