Independent reviewers have called this bottling near-perfect for its age, in the spirit of Bowmore's cult Tempest releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting notes (independent review of this exact bottling, scored 8.9\/10): the nose offers smoked peanut skins, nori sheets, sea spray, kippers, candle wax, and tropical fruit — mango, papaya, grapefruit; the palate leads with grapefruit, then preserved and char-grilled lemons, limoncello, white pepper, and salinity; the finish is medium to long, coastal peat layered with tropical fruits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy buy it? Because independent Bowmore at this quality is increasingly hard to find — distillery 10-year-olds don't taste like this — and the bourbon-cask profile is the purest read of the spirit.
