Cosseted away in the finest, hand-selected oak casks and allowed to mature at its own sedate pace, this is one of the most remarkable, perfectly balanced malts of its kind.
A rare exceptional bottle, the stocks of Bowmore 18 Years Old may be limited but there's no end to its enjoyment and this 5cl bottle provides a nice little sample of what the 18 Year Old 70cl bottle has to offer.
Colour: Mellow mahogany.
Nose: Creamy caramel toffee, with ripe fruit and smoke aromas.
Palate: Incredibly complex, with beautiful soft fruit and chocolate, all balanced together nicely with a light smokiness.
Finish: Long and wonderfully balanced.
Pleasant, drinkable Fishersman's friend style - Like every Bowmore it appears around this age. But why so toffee-dull?
