BOWMORE 1997
19 year old
Islay
57.2 % ABV - 700 ml
1 of only 534 bottles from cask no. 2411
Drawn from a wonderful ex-Sherry butt, this is amber, almost chestnut in colour with good beading. An immediate scent of jam enriched suet pudding, salted Curly Wurly and Snickers chocolate bars, soon overcome by Bowmore characteristics - lint bandages, antiseptic cream, talcum powder, and a little oily tar – on a base of Highland toffee with a whiff of smoke.
Smooth texture, sweet taste, trace of salt – big smoky finish. With a drop of water, the aroma moves towards buttered burnt toast; the taste remains sweet and smoky.
Classic Bowmore.
