Bowmore 1995/2009 (46%, Wilson & Morgan Barrel Selection, Sherry finish)Colour: white wine. Nose: the sherry is more obvious than in the Whisky agency version, somewhat fruitier and sweeter. Develops on marzipan, oranges and sweet spices getting then more organic again. Hints of wet newspaper, ink, leather and leaves… Mouth: a tad rounder than the 1998s but, quite curiously, a tad drier as well. Saltier too. Fresh almonds, lime juice, straight peat, pepper… Finish: long, pleasantly sharp and even saltier. Comments: globally smoother and rounder than the younger ones but the ‘profile behind’ is perfect. SGP:346 - 86 points.
