Bowmore 18 Year Old The Original pre-2017 (70cl, 43%)
Original price was: €149.00.€129.00Current price is: €129.00.
Available : instock
First launched in 2007 as a core-range replacement to the much-loved 17 year old (which became a travel retail exclusive. This is the first version of the expression, packed like this until the range was rebranded in 2017.
Primary Cask: American oak
Secondary Cask: European Sherry
After a while some Malt, Heather and Butter are coming through. And all the time there’s a faint Sherry like sweetness. The nose of the 12 Year is quite overwhelming but the 18 year is much more settled and ripe. Hardly any Wood which is remarkable for its age. Quite Nice.
Taste: The delivery is very smooth and slightly watery for a 43%. I think this expression should be bottled at 46%. Chocolate, Plums, Nuts. Sherried Peat Smoke in the background. Again hardly any Wood and very little Spices. The Peat is still there. Light Ashes. Well balanced.
Finish: Some Toffee is there, as well as slightly bitter Orange Marmalade. Some Wet Earth after a few minutes. After about 10 minutes it felt like having eaten a thin slice of Smoked Ham. I’ve added half a point to the finish for that. Remarkable!
