1999 Bowmore 15 year old 48.4% abv Speyside Douglas Laing, Old Particular rosé winesColour: White wine. Nose: Brine, riesling, almond oil, Harris tweed and a nice fireplace. Mouth: Liquorice, bitter almonds, toasted brioche, lemon sherbet, kippers, herrings, oysters. Finish: Rather long, very brine y, ashy, smoky, and lemony. Marzipan in the aftertaste. Comments: Excellent, as expected. A rather smoky one, perhaps less zesty than other middle aged Bowies from these very smoky vintages.

With water: oh

On the nose feels earthy

there is some zest in it

We’re almost in a farm… Quite some hay and fern

Colour: mahogany colour

This dram reflects the style of the main Arran distillery products in that it is on the lighter

On the palate it is unctuous

Liquorice and apple pie

ginger and lemon drops

And sweetness

a voluptuous/unctuous palate

Never stops improving after five minutes
