N: Balanced sherry gives some dried fruit, nutmeg and a touch of cinnamon to iodine, earth and a bit of tar. There's a touch of plum and cherry; a little bit of clay. Light sweetness and faint malt. 

n:  laundry detergent in potting soil and dried fruit.  Boo.

p:  Sunflower seeds and prunes.  Finish sticks in a bad way and is indistict.  Sort of a lingering taste of raisins or prunes.  Not my thing really.  Not much peat if any.

n: Soot, wet driftwood by the beach, grey sea salt, leather, and strawberry jam. Like fresh dug earth by the sea; rather nice and inviting nose with some lemon peel and honeysuckle.

t: Initial sweetness with light brine, and a bit of soy sauce that is counter balanced with dried red fruit, prunes, citrus wax, and faint peat smoke. Middle is scalded berry marmelade, black raisin, and dried figs. Finish is of smoke, waxed fruit, ginger, and wood char. More smoke in the nose than taste.

This is one of the more likeable and fruity current Bowmores available. It has some nice individual aspects, but doesn't quite come together.  [B-/B]
