The First Edition. Bottled 1993. "...Mouth: superb attack, on dried tropical fruits, raspberry jam and some delicate milk chocolate. Fresh pineapple, passion fruit, pink grapefruit. Extraordinary balance. Notes of peat, toffee, coffee... Some smoke, breadcrumb... I like the way it tickles your tongue. Really playful, absolutely fantastic." (5 Stars-Whiskyfun)

Black Bowmore-1964-Second Edition
Bottle number 446 of 2000. In wooden presentation case. Good labelling. Level: base neck.
"Talk about a legend! Mouth: strong, rich and bold attack, as expected. Even rather balanced at first, with lots of fructose and some medicinal notes, buts it gets quite heavy after a while – some would say a little 'clumsy'...Definitely not a prima ballerina. Lots of coffee, lots of smoke, lots of pepper, and lots of jam (black plum). It seems to get thicker and thicker, and the balance gets sort of lost, but maybe balance isn't precisely what one is looking for when tasting a Black Bowmore. Chewier and chewier... Lots of nuts (roasted hazelnuts) and always these heavy jammy notes. Yes, traffic jam on the tongue!" (5 Stars-Whiskyfun)
750ml. Single Malt., 50% volume.

Black Bowmore-1964-Final Edition
Bottle number 1251 of 1812. In wooden presentation case. Good labelling. Level: base neck.
"... Nose: big sherry, bold torrefaction, freshly sawed wood, old leather. Then some shoe polish, getting heavier and heavier. Lots of Havana tobacco and rancio (old Banyuls wine). Perhaps just a little tired. Hints of soy sauce, mocha, walnut liqueur. Very little fruit, this time – the sherry seems to have taken much more than its share. Mouth: nice attack, on some typical tropical fruits – here there are. Lots of cold tea, with some quite heavy tannins, pepper and clove. Gets spicier end spicier ('wood' spices, cinnamon, nutmeg). Goes on with bitter chocolate, cocoa, orange marmalade." (5 Stars-Whiskyfun)
70cl. Single Malt., 49% volume.
