Bowmore 18

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 43%

Score: 92 Points

The nose has notes of dried leaves, campfire smoke, apple pie, and a subtle trace of orange peel. The taste starts off smoky with a touch of dried flowers at first, followed by dark chocolate and hazelnut-flavored coffee with a touch of cinnamon — subtle, very complex, and smooth. The finish is dry and briny with a mild peatiness, toasted oak, and almonds.
