This expression of Bowmore is one I've been trying to find for a long time. I actually found it at this year's Feis Ile, at the distillery, in the "old & rare" bar. On the nose, an amazing aroma of coconut with oloroso sherry and butter. Buttery sensational. Coconut cream, roasted coffee, and macerated fruits. Maraschino cherries and very winey. On the palate: Wow, this is a sea wave! Coconut and sea. Coconut milk. So lactic, this is how a whisky should be. Aftertaste is smoky, salty. A true explosion of flavors. Overall, I gave this one 23 points for the nose, palate, and aftertaste, but I had to give it a perfect 25 score for balance since this is the most balanced, delicious, rich Bowmore I've had in a long time. My score for it is a very honest 94 out of 100.
