BOWMORE 1993-2010 16 Year Old THE WHISKY AGENCY Private Stock

Among THE WHISKY AGENCY's 1993 BOWMOREs, this is my favorite. BOWMORE 1993-2010 16yo THE WHISKY AGENCY private stock 54.1% one of 188 bottles, ex-Bourbon Hogshead The aroma is a burst of fruitiness with grapefruit zest, passion fruit, guava, peach, pear, seafood dashi, and a slow-building peat and barley note. On the palate, it delivers an equally intoxicating fruitiness with natural tropical fruits, a juicy sweetness and acidity, dashi umami, pronounced peat, and a long finish. 【Very Good】 This is BOWMORE 1993, aged for 16 years, from THE WHISKY AGENCY's private stock. From the first sip, it explodes with fruitiness, embodying the essence of BOWMORE's 1993 vintage. This time, I felt the peat and dashi elements more distinctly than before, making it even more impressive. The drink maintains a fresh juice-like quality, with clear tropical fruits standing out among the diverse array of fruits. It also carries the characteristic peat and dashi-like qualities typical of an Islay malt. While THE WHISKY AGENCY has bottled several versions of BOWMORE 1993, this particular bottling lacks the youthful spirit and instead presents a refined impression from its initial release. It's definitely the definitive version among THE WHISKY AGENCY's BOWMORE bottlings. After a long time, drinking it again confirms that this fruitiness is truly outstanding.
