Bowmore x Aston Martin Golden & Elegant 15 Year

Somehow Bowmore has associated with Aston Martin, and they have released a collection of travel retail expressions, which are basically the same whiskies they already had (10,15 and 18) but repackaged into a fancier, Aston Martin printed label, to appeal fans. This Golden & Elegant Aston Martin 1939 Atom is the same whisky, 43%abv. The car that this whisky commemorates is a concept vehicle, very light for its time, that is why it was named "the atom". On the nose, burnt hay, fondant and Meringue. There is definitively some salt. There is a note that i can describe as an "Aromatic peat with infused lemon". Very appealing grassy peat. Very perfumed. On the palate, it was very enjoyable. A little acid;  Peaty and Earthy. Citric meringue. Vanilla, ints of coconut and a very clean honey note. Aftertaste was very good. A nice smokiness.  Cigarrettes, puffs of smoke. Very enjoyable and easy drinkable. Hay. Stable. Newspaper ashes. Overall, it is always good to try a dram a couple of years later and watch it evolve from its original flavors and aromas, which might feel the same, but actually i believe this 15yo Golden and Elegant has improved with the years. I have also grown a better palate for Bowmore standard expressions. The new packaging is beautiful and it deserves the attention that it is getting. My score for it is 87 over 100.
