White Bowmore 43 Year Old 1964

Bowmore Gold Reef / Litre

Nose: honeycomb, anise, cherry chapstick, wax Palate (neat): thin but slightly waxy mouthfeel. Easy to drink, no burn as it goes down. Actually kinda tastes like cherry chapstick too (not really a good thing). All in all pretty inoffensive but nothing particularly exciting. The faux cherry taste lingers for a very long time.

Some burnt coffee beans and wet newspaper. Soft peat. Not very outspoken in my...

While that’s disappointing I enjoy most of their offerings nonetheless. There’s a time and place for everything. I should note that my bottle did not say “Darkest” on it,...
