| BOWMORE 18-YEARS-OLD ISLAY SINGLE MALT |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
Morrison Bowmore Distillers |
| Fairly deep golden amber colour. Stunning, intense, smoky, slightly spicy, honeyed, caramel-plum nose. Dry, medium-full bodied but very harmonious with well structured, ripe plum and gently smoky flavours plus a long, lingering, gentle caramel finish. |

TASTING NOTE: … The nose is Classic Bowmore fruit, malt and subtle peat, with a lovely muted sherry influence. A greater smokiness develops with time. Sweet and fruity on the palate, with smokiness and underlying peat, typical of aged Bowmore. If anything, this expression has a slightly more 'maritime' character than the 17-year-old it replaces. The finish is longer and drier ... A delightful, complex, confident whisky which proves that great Islays don't have to be peat monsters.
