Bowmore 10 Aston Martin Edition 7

A rich, intense 10-year-old Bowmore single malt that is inspired by the Aston Martin 1922 GP TT2 – a ground-breaking car creative with a soul purpose in mind, to take part in the 1922 French Grand Prix. Matured in a combination of Spanish oak sherry casks and hogsheads. Bottled at 40% (bottle size 1L)

Nose: Certainly a very elegant first impression with tropical notes of mango, papaya and pineapple, accompanied by gentle, sweet peat smoke, oranges and allspice. Maybe just a tinge of struck matches, but also some sultanas.
Taste: Zesty citrus combined with a good amount of salt, raisins and an ashy smoke. A hint of treacle, chocolate and bacon as well. Really enjoyable. However, as expected, the mouthfeel is rather thin, almost watery.
Finish: Tinned tropical fruits, spices and bonfire smoke. Medium in length.
