This has more peat than most Bowmore expressions. The nose carries dark chocolate, a hint of orange peel, and mild smoke, reminiscent of a small stovetop grill. Dark chocolate is less prominent on the palate, replaced by caramel and touches of sea salt. The finish is salted caramel, but it's shorter than I'd prefer.
