Description
The first distillery on Islay to receive a licence, Bowmore was officially founded in 1779. It is likely that the distillery’s founder, David Simpson, had been distilling in Bowmore since shortly after his arrival on Islay in 1766.
A comparatively recent release from Bowmore, the 18 year old was launched in January of 2007 to replace the 17 year old. A perfumed, fruity offering from the Islay distillery.
Tasting Note
Nose: Pungent, citrus. Stewing fruit, hints of damp wood and a very soft smoke.
Palate: Spirity at first, then gives way to perfume, fruit, plum jam. A good sweetness, peat smoke, grapey.
Finish: Seville marmalade, blossom, dark peat.
