Great profile, especially on the nose it is one of those great old fruity Bowmores with this mix of austere fruitiness, grapefruit and whiffs of smoke, on the palate it is unfortunately little bit weak, probably lost a bit of power over the years, but still great complexity and fruitiness - overall fantastic!
Nose - 95
Intense, citrusy, grapefruity, austere notes, brown sugar, hints of vanilla, whiffs of peat and smoke, cigar tobacco, herbs, honey, crystallized orange, lemon peel, jam, little metallic and hints of OBE - superb!
Taste - 94
Oily, fruity, good sweetness, candied oranges, honey, tobacco, little vanilla sugar, finest sherry wood, hints of peat and smoke, some grapefruit peel, orange peel, little herbs - excellent!
Finish - 93
Medium long, warm, fruity, little zesty, citrusy, some herbs - great!
