Bowmore 34 year old 1971 vintage, 51%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2006 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
A lovely example of a mature, sherried Bowmore. Its rich flavors evolve on the palate and are nicely balanced. Lush fruit, juicy oak, damp peat, and kiln smoke are peppered with cinnamon, raisins, dates, and cocoa. Warming, soothing finish. Not quite Black Bowmore, but a delicious whisky nonetheless.
