Bowmore Vintner's Trilogy 18 Year Double Matured Manzanilla

Orange floral berry toffee peat on the nose. The floral aspect of the nose is reminiscent of Springbank 15, but a heavier peat presence is noted. The palate continues with floral orange and peat, along with the toffee and some pepper going into the finish. The peat feels in the mild to moderate range. A little bit of leather, chocolate, and orange rounds out the finish. The flavors here all work for me. Floral, orange, toffee, peat. Delicious.

Very special bottle. Worth every penny! If you have a friend that loves peated single malt open this for their birthday, wedding, anniversary etc. if I find it again I’ll buy it again.

Sherry, vanilla, tobacco

My number 4 sample and last for this tasting. I quite like this one. As per the official tasting notes salty treacle and hazelnut. I'd rate this one a 4. Nice dram but the saltiness is out of balance with the rest of the flavours. On the day not a great as the Amrut Portonova or the 25 year Balvenie but ahead of the 30 yr Ardmore.
