Bowmore-12 year old-1980s
Bottled early 1980s. Imported by P. Soffiantino, Genova. Distilled and Bottled by Morrison's Bowmore Distillery Ltd., Islay
Dumpy bottle. In original carton. Good labelling. Level: into neck.
"...Nose: very briny, sea air, tropical fruit, lots of flowery notes and lots of peat. How great! And no 'perfumy' notes at all! Mouth: sweet, 'good' caramel, café latte, peat, milk chocolate. Very 'slippery', says Davin, and he adds: "This whisky was made by somebody who wasn't only in it for the money', whatever that means. The finish is medium long, very fresh and clean. Wow, it's soooo much better than the current 12yo! (5 stars-Whiskyfun)
