Professionele reviews

BOW (92)

This is an old vintage bottle and the closure may have deteriorated; When opening care should be taken. The item is sold as described.

This special bottling was released as part of the legendary 1964 Bowmore Trilogy series along with the Oloroso and Bourbon expressions.

Distilled on November 11, 1964 and released in Spring 2003. Colour: gold. Nose: a little closed at first – just some banana and some vanilla – but it’s soon to open up, on the 1960’s Bowmores’ main markers: tropical fruits (mainly passion fruit and ripe kiwi) and some very nice ripe gooseberry. Goes on with caramelised apple, old books, curry, and hints of violets. A superb nose, even if quite narrower than the oloroso version’s. Mouth: the attack is much more indefinite, but loads of dried herbs are soon to arrive. Quite peppery, with hints of mustard, and finally some peat.
Notes of cold over-infused tea. Goes on with white pepper and vanilla. The finish is very long, on caramel and pepper. Again a great one, but I liked the ‘oloroso’ just a little better.
