The aroma is very floral and fruity, with grapefruit zest, strong muscat, tropical notes like passion fruit, oil, and an intoxicating feel. Upon drinking, it delivers a similarly intense tropical fruitiness with mango and muscat, more peat than expected for a 60s Bowmore from the Peerless Collection, along with tar and smoke. The body isn't heavy but leaves a very fruity, intoxicating aftertaste.
【Very Good】
From the Duncan Taylor Peerless Collection comes Bowmore 1969, aged 36 years. This is what a 60s Bowmore should be—intense tropical fruits like grapefruit, mango, and passion fruit are felt in both aroma and flavor. However, this 1969 also strongly conveys white grapes like muscat. Later on, the peat is unexpectedly strong for a 60s Bowmore from Peerless, making one keenly aware of its Islay malt character. No matter how many times you drink it, it's a very intoxicating malt that makes you think, 'This is it.'
While there are many tropical-flavored malts, this one has a natural, standout fruitiness that can't be replaced.
