The 1993 from THE WHISKY AGENCY stands out. BOWMORE 1993-2010 16yo THE WHISKY AGENCY private stock 54.1% one of 188 bottles, EX-BOURBON HOGSHEAD The aroma is intensely fruity, with juicy passion fruit, lychee and guava, vanilla, a gentle cereal note without harshness, a touch of cream, sea breeze, and a solid peat character that emerges slightly after the fruitiness. On the palate, it delivers juicy passion fruit, grapefruit pulp, a subtle yet sexy armpit sweat-like quality or umami from seafood stock, sweet fruitiness with a hint of acidity, and a long finish with strong peat and pronounced fruit notes. 【Very Good】 The BOWMORE 1993, aged for 16 years, was bottled in 2010 as a private stock by THE WHISKY AGENCY. While 1993 releases from THE WHISKY AGENCY are rare, many tend to have a strong alcohol presence alongside their fruitiness. However, this private stock 1993 feels less alcoholic, with a roundness and viscosity that makes the fruitiness feel more mature. It balances fruity characteristics with classic Islay peat and umami-like savory notes from seafood stock, making it a highly accomplished fruity BOWMORE.
