@Richard-ModernDrinking you’re right. That salty note was prominent in a sample of their No1 that I had. Felt like licking a cube of sea salt

@LeeEvolved I was disappointed not to detect any of the promised salty notes, which are supposed to be a characteristic of its sub sea-level warehouse. But I may have been coming down with something as a couple of days later I was a bit under the weather and nothing was tasting right.

@cascode This was batch three, I think.

Dorus Mor is basically Tempest, which is actually one of the few Bowmores I’ve really enjoyed. That said, it is/was a batch expression that varied markedly. Batch 6 was magnificent, Batch 2 was gentle and sweet, etc. I guess maybe the variability trend continues.

Hmm, somehow I seem to have missed writing a review for this one. I recall liking it quite a bit, though. My scoring sheet shows a 4 star rating, but not many notes. I’m not sure what happened to my full notes. I definitely don’t remember a syrupy note, as thsnwas cask strength. I’d like to try this one again sometime. Great review. Sorry you didn’t like it as I think I gave this one a recommendation at one point. Cheers.

@PBMichiganWolverine Maybe, I’ve given decent ratings to some others. Or maybe my palate was off last week.

I’ve not had many Bowmores, maybe 2-3. Never found them sweet. Wondering if it’s the age range from 10-15
