Bottle number 303 of 960. Sherry Wood. In wooden presentation case. Good label. Level: into neck.
"... Err, I know that sounds like maltoporn, sorry... And beyond the sherry, you have the classical peat smoke, seaweed, brine... Whiffs of ginger ale, horse dung, bold notes of wet hay... Very interesting, it's very different from both the older ' tropical fruitbombs' and the younger 'simpler or lavender-perfumed' Bowmores. Mouth: oh-oh! Very liquoricy, resinous and meaty, with quite a maelstrom of very special flavours, mostly fermented fruits, wax, old rancio..." (5 Stars-Whiskyfun)
