Bottle #ボウモア(BOWMORE)
This is an image of a delicious Bowmore from the 2000s distillation. Bowmore BOWMORE 2001-2014 13yo Cadenhead for Swiss 57.1% one of 282 bottles The aroma is elegant, with passion fruit, grapefruit, a slightly paper-like grain note, sharp peat, and smoke. When tasted, it has juicy passion fruit and guava with a slightly paper-like grain note, some bitterness, sea breeze, light dashi, and peat with a smoky edge. [Good/Very Good] This Bowmore 2001, 13-year-old was released by Cadenhead in 2014. From the aroma to the flavor, the tropical fruit notes like passion fruit and guava reminiscent of Bowmore from the 1990s onwards were impressively juicy. A slightly paper-like texture is a common characteristic in Bowmore's post-2000 distillates, and this bottle also had a touch of bitterness. However, it was not dominant, with the juicy fruitiness and peatiness taking precedence, making for a delicious experience. This vintage range often has varying degrees of paper-like texture but consistently delivers strong fruitiness. #Bowmore (BOWMORE)
