Bowmore 1988 Port Cask

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 51.5%

Score: 89 Points

This 21-year-old Bowmore has a fruity nose, with plums and figs balanced with floral notes and a hint of peat. The taste is sweet with pears, plums, and raisins that fade as black pepper notes build slowly. The finish is tart and short.
