Islay Violets 33-year-old ElD

Remarks:
for me personally the best Bowmore I’ve had in my glass so far.
incredibly complex and a great flavor combination.
Wonderful whisky.

Overall I rate this Whisky 93/100 points

• Nose: 92/100 points
  nice smoky note, floral notes, dark fruits, spicy oak, lavender, cognac aromas, red grapes, leather, old oak cabinet wall, subtly sweet and a hint of wax. A bit salty and sour far in the background. A light ash note comes through.
  
  
• Taste: 93/100 points
  Slightly ashy and smoky, dark fruits, red grapes, floral floral notes, dark chocolate, spicy oak aromas, slightly creamy, wax, leather, some honey, subtly salty sweet, some fruit acidity. Grandma’s old oak furniture, very lightly a little motor oil, some pepper.
  
  
• Finish: 93/100 points
  Smoky and fruity in the first place, then intense floral notes combined with the pleasant fruit acidity, the aromas linger on the palate and tongue for a long time. The spicy oak is back too.
