Bowmore 1985

The nose is full of peat smoke and brine, along with fresh berries, cocoa, and a hint of honey. The taste has orange peel and grapefruit citrus notes, along with honey, dark chocolate, and hints of caramel. The finish has a good balance of berries, smoke, old leather, and pipe tobacco. Good balance and consistency.
