Bowmore 18 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Review
This beautifully complex peated single malt hails from the oldest licensed distillery on the Isle of Islay. The nose kicks off with notes of Granny Smith apples, caramel, and subtle hints of potpourri. The peat influence comes through heavily on the palate before fruit flavors circle back to temper the smoke, culminating in harmonious, balanced sips.
