| Нос | 86 | Opens with a bitter cacao note reminiscent of dark chocolate. A maritime peat emerges alongside faint tidal mudflats and a burnt popcorn character—leaving me to question if it stems from the peat itself; it's a scent profile I don't particularly care for. Citrusy, sweet aromas of blackberry and cranberry combine with heavy dried fig to form a dense, rich baseline. Lastly, an oriental herbal medication nuance and a fermented beans leave a distinct impression; while these are notes I generally dislike, they linger merely as subtle hints without feeling off-putting. |
| Вкус | 87 | Dark chocolate carries through on the palate, but the higher ABV gives it a powdery texture that immediately brings cocoa powder to mind. Bitter woodiness and paper clay leave a distinctly gritty, drying feel on the tongue. Peaty smokiness, seaweed, and olive are present—yet expressed through quite an unusual, distinctively peaty lens. |
| Финиш | 86 | Violet shines through most prominently. Leaves a mouth-drying sensation packed with nutty tones, tannins, Hanji (traditional Korean paper), paper clay, chocolate powder, and whole wheat bread. Peaty tobacco and seaweed nuances add a rich, deep layer that rounds out the tail beautifully. |
Tropical fruit, tobacco. Oily. A slight soapy note at the end, long-lasting.

I was curious to see how it would compare to the bottlings from the last two years, both of which I liked. This one is different, but I like it even better. 91-100 – Whisky heaven, best stuff

| Нос | 91 | Tart, leather, tobacco, salty, underlined with Bowmore peat. Completely different from the other Master Selections. Radiates his age. Appears sublime and mature. There's a bit of fruit underneath, sweet and sour. After a while also sweet mustard. |
| Вкус | 94 | Round and intense. The ABV is perfect for drinking. It has power, but isn't overwhelming. Earthy, tobacco, but also a little fruity, very slightly sweet. Becomes creamy over time, just how I like it. |
| Финиш | 92 | Surprisingly, the fruit is initially in the foreground, perhaps passion fruit. But then the chocolate, tobacco, leather take over. Long and intense. |

Such an impresser. A beautiful evolution from the first edition, though it is its own animal, but the continuation of quality let's me know we're in the same Aston Martin series. Very special stuff. Milk smoke, sweet, a bit of saltiness, very complex, pastry, dark fruits, brine, dusty, old, simply phenomenal. Remember to let it open up for at least 20 minutes and experiment with water to reveal all it has to offer. Exceptionally rewarding.

Beautiful deep nose, powerful bright taste, cool cool whisky! 22+ 23 21+ 22 89
A well-made whisky with a perfect balance of Bowmore's floral notes and peat. The notes that could be perceived as the "WFWP" (Wide Free Pitch) characteristic of Bowmore from certain periods are quite subdued, making it closer to floral and less overwhelming to drink. While many notes are distinctly felt in the aroma, taste, and finish, the diverse notes underlying the base create rich layers, adding to the enjoyment of the drinking experience. The balance appears to be delicately well-tuned. In particular, the taste clearly displays Bowmore's distinctive characteristics amidst a silky smoothness, and the continuous unfolding of various layers demonstrates a high level of perfection.

| Нос | 90 | Raisins / Dried Cranberries / Orange / Seaweed / Floral / Salt / Smoky / Ash / Dark Chocolate / Espresso / Toffee / Cloves / Star Anise / Nutmeg / Nuts At first, there is a sour sensation in the nose due to the burn expected from the alcohol content, which is quite significant considering it is a 22-year-old. However, it stabilizes quickly and becomes very smooth after just a short time in the glass. When poured into a glass, the peat is strongly felt, but once you start to smell it, sherry-like nuances fill the air at first. The raisin nuances are the most intense, but the citrus notes from dried cranberries and oranges are quite strong, creating a sweet and sour sensation that makes your mouth water slightly. The floral notes, situated on the boundary between French Free Waver (FWP) and florals, are quite strongly felt. However, compared to Bowmore during the Morrison era, it is much closer to the lavender floral scent. On top of this, a peat mixed with a slight saltiness and smokiness can be detected. The dark nuances are quite strong, with the bitterness of dark chocolate and an espresso-like sensation blended together. The sweet notes are also influenced by this, giving off a toffee-like nuance that feels like it was slightly burnt during brewing. - Cloves, a touch of star anise, and a hint of nutmeg spice blend harmoniously to create balance, accompanied by the bittersweet nuttiness of the nuts. |
| Вкус | 91 | Seaweed / Floral / Salt / Ash / Silk / Dark Chocolate / Raisins / Dried Figs / Red Ginseng / Licorice / Peach / Apple / Jackfruit / Pineapple / Brown Sugar / Nuts / Cloves / Nutmeg Unlike the scent, it is composed of a very soft and silky feel right from the start. The peat of seaweed and floral notes are strongly intertwined, immediately followed by other nuances of peat and sherry. From the seaweed nuances felt at first, a slight saltiness is detected, and ash nuances blend strongly. Behind the dark, ash-like impression, the smooth bitterness of dark chocolate is felt together with the sherry; in the case of the sherry, while mainly consisting of raisin nuances, there is also a slight hint of medicinal herbs, presenting a unique nuance mixed with dried figs, red ginseng, and licorice. As the flavor becomes slightly lighter, various layers unfold, accompanied by hints of peach, ripe apple, a touch of jackfruit, and pineapple. While the peach and apple notes are quite distinct, the tropical fruit nuances are subtly layered in the base, seemingly adding complexity. In terms of sweetness, it feels closest to the dark sweetness of brown sugar; the nuttiness is mixed with bitterness and oiliness, evoking nuances of almonds or walnuts. The spices are not strong, but subtle nuances of clove and nutmeg provide balance. |
| Финиш | 90 | Ash / Smoky / Salt / Seaweed / Floral / Raisin / Tobacco / Brown Sugar / Caramel / Nuts / Orange - The finish is long and continuous, with various nuances passing clearly like oil paint spreading on a canvas, while a watercolor-like subtlety is infused into the base. A strong ash-like smokiness opens the finish. Here, slight saltiness and seaweed nuances blend in, while the peat nuances are quite intense. The lavender-based floral notes that immediately follow the peat nuances clearly showcase Bowmore's characteristics. - Raisin-like sherry nuances linger quite strongly in the mouth, accompanied by a slight tobacco-like dryness. A dark finish follows, accompanied by a sweetness reminiscent of a mixture of brown sugar and slightly burnt caramel, while a slight oiliness blends with bitterness to leave behind nutty nuances. The citrus notes come across as well-ripened oranges with low acidity. |

| Нос | 88 | The obvious smell of leather and tobacco came to my nostrils, as if I were in a retro gentlemen's club. Then, the saltiness and freshness of the ocean and the smell of seaweed are intertwined, making people feel the breeze of the sea. Then, the slightly sweet fruit aroma (plum, plum) and the fresh and astringent feeling of lemon peel slowly emerged, and a trace of mud and coal aroma swirled around the tip of the nose. |
| Вкус | 89 | At the moment of entrance, the fragrance and sweetness burst out in an instant. The soft peat charcoal and sweet syrup were perfectly integrated, and the soil smell was faintly visible. The sweetness of fruit (plum, cherry, plum) jumps in the mouth, and then a trace of metal texture quietly appears. The leather smell and the aftertaste of bonfire ashes are intertwined, and the aroma of chocolate, cream and nuts is progressive layer by layer. The smell of peat is comfortable and pleasant. |
| Финиш | 88 | Medium long and sweet. The smell of tobacco and leather slowly spread, setting off the soft peat carbon. The aroma of chocolate, nuts and a pinch of pepper lingered in the mouth, the sweetness of plum and cherry loomed, and the aroma of coffee lingered on the tip of the tongue. |

Sheer perfection in a glass. An absolutely breathtaking experience from nose to finish.
great sherry and peat integration
Smelling through an Islay thumping glass, there is a smell of dry soap mixed with the smell of burnt ashes, with a faint hint of fruity and dark berries underneath. Soft and light burnt wood notes mixed with a little honey, such a soft blend of peat and soap. The entrance is first filled with explosive dark fruits, then soapy taste mixed with peat, then dark fruit jelly, mixed with a bit of burnt wood ashes, mainly fruity notes, followed by soap. +The burnt wood flavor makes the whole drinking experience longer, and the finish is very long. You can still feel the fruity flavor of the dark fruit gummy after chewing it repeatedly! Highly recommended!

The best official Bowmore I've had so far! It has a luscious darkness and doesn't feel muted. The unique lapsang souchong finish deserves a special mention.

| Нос | 89 | Mildly peated with some dough, which I somehow came to associate with official Bowmores. Darker notes of coffee, chocolate, candied almonds, and shoe polish follow. Raisins, cherries and some vanilla conclude this soft and rich nose. |
| Вкус | 90 | Opens up on dark notes of raisins, dates, coffee, dark chocolate and basamic. Citrus fruits, garden herbs and a clear salty note add more profile, together with light tannins. The campfire style peat slowly swells in intensity, although it stays well behaved. A rich and balanced palate, it's really good! |
| Финиш | 90 | Waves of moderate peat mingle with vanilla sugar, cacao, coffee, oranges and cloves. Lingers with tannins and lapsang souchong tea. |
When craftsmanship meets luxury, you get the Bowmore Aston Martin 22 Years Edition, released in 2023. This 22-year-old single malt scotch is a pinnacle of fine distilling and a testament to the synergy between two iconic brands, Bowmore and Aston Martin.

| Нос | 94 | The nose is a tantalizing orchestra of aromas. Initial hints of salted caramel and honey are met with a layer of subtle smoke, evoking images of the Islay coastline. Nuances of leather and oak signal its age and sophistication. |
| Вкус | 96 | From the first sip, you're greeted with a well-rounded ensemble of flavors. Salted caramel returns, followed by fruity notes of dark berries and a whisper of citrus. The moderate smokiness lingers in the background, contributing complexity without overwhelming. At 51% Vol., the whisky provides a robust yet smooth experience that dances on the palate. |
| Финиш | 94 | The finish is luxurious and enduring, with the smoky and fruity elements fading out slowly, leaving behind a warm, spicy sensation that urges for another sip. It's a finish as lasting and impressive as the roar of an Aston Martin engine. |

| Нос | 89 | N: Iodine, smoky, medicinal, saltiness, bacon, brown sugar, syrup, grapes, berries, orange, clove, floral Strong Islay peat. Iodine and medicinal notes come through strongly, followed by smokiness and a slight saltiness. Not the type of peat I personally prefer. Rich and heavy sweetness. Brown sugar and syrup, grapes. Sweet and sour berries and citrus from the orange flesh. Pungent spices reminiscent of clove. Floral notes at the end of the nose. Perhaps because I wrote this while looking at the Bowmore label, purple flowers come to mind. |
| Вкус | 88 | P: Vanilla, cream, smoky, iodine, salt, wet earth, grapes, berries, orange, oak, clove, licorice, floral Surprisingly, the influence of American oak is the first thing I notice on the palate. Soft and sweet vanilla and cream. The peat intensity is considerably reduced compared to the nose. However, given how strong the nose was, I wouldn't say the palate is particularly subdued. The smoky and salty notes take a step back, while the iodine remains unchanged and nuances of wet earth emerge. Grapes, berries, and orange. Sweet and sour, just like on the nose. A slight nuttiness and spices from the oakiness. Spices, rather than alcohol, stimulate the tongue. Purple flowers. |
| Финиш | 88 | F: Iodine, smoky, wet earth, berries, orange, clove, pepper, tannins, floral A peat character dominated by iodine and wet earth, along with citrusy orange. Slight tannins and spicy notes. Purple floral notes that linger and gradually emerge, driven by the peat. |
Sweet smoke, vanilla drizzle over stone fruit, oak, smoldering leaves, silky, creamy, abv is hidden, peat is medium and clean, buttery, grape skin, white pepper, some tropical notes come in the finish (papaya/mango)
The sort of dram I would love to be given by a donor when everyone is calling you for accepting free clothes and glasses even though you get a good wage. Comforting - a little like Halmet cigars from an 80's ad. Well worth trying.

| Нос | 86 | No obvious peat on the nose, instead I get an Eccles cake with butter spread on it - plentyy of raisins with a few sultanas thrown in. |
| Вкус | 87 | The mouthfeel is good - almost oily in texture. At first it just sits in the mouth, but then starts to open up - old leather from a settee, plenty of dark fruits and a hint of gentle smoke. A comforting dram. |
| Финиш | 86 | Quite a long finish with more dark fruits and that lovely smoke - almost like a teapot that has recently had lapsang in it. |

Nose (96): Dramtic dark chocolate, dark berry jam, cigarette ash at the end of a long scent. Palate (96): Very dense sweetness from the beginning, appropriate acidity supports the bottom so as not to be sweet. dark and nutty that is not sharp but absorbs. She doesn't want to let me go until just before the finish phase. Finish (98) : Dark fruits and chocolates from nose and palate come back up with smoke and savory peat. Bowmore's unique sweet and stir-fried bean-like dramtic savory overwhelms my head.
Exquisite, elegant, finely composed, and mature. A stylized whisky has been created here, one that belongs in a wood-paneled Victorian study. It's unfortunately already very good. For me, 91 points. Unfortunately, I say, because the marketing hype (see the packaging with its text) and the price somewhat spoil my enjoyment of this fine dram. And I'd like to know what color the whisky is, because the very well-executed vatting doesn't taste nearly as dark as it looks. But you can't have everything.

| Нос | 90 | Very harmonious, it takes quite a while to unfold, then cherry and chocolate (Mon Chéri?), candied chestnuts, pipe tobacco, cloves, nutmeg, and in the background, mulled wine spices. Mind you, the spices are anything but spicy on the nose, beautifully composed, very elegant indeed! |
| Вкус | 92 | Here, the 51% ABV briefly flexes its muscles, but it's perfectly drinkable without adding water. Since opening the bottle about a week ago, the sweetness has become more pronounced at the beginning, but it's balanced with a blend of withered leaves, tobacco, and dark chocolate. Earthy, tart notes predominate, paired with rum-soaked raisins, forest honey, and Morello cherries. The smoke has become one with the malt; the embers of a dying campfire accompany the flavor from start to finish. |
| Финиш | 91 | Satisfactory, medium to long, and fitting for an overall harmonious malt, the finish is also well-balanced; you notice how creamy it leaves in the mouth, with notes of licorice, marshmallows slightly charred by a campfire, and smoke that becomes ashier. No trace of bitterness. |
A fantastic malt that reminds you why you like whisky. I'm a Bowmore fan, and bottlings like this are the reason.

| Нос | 89 | Quite closed at first. After a few minutes, it opens up, revealing sweet notes of sherry, orange, tobacco, and leather. These overshadow the slight smokiness. Herbs and praline are also present. It demands to be truly discovered. If you look closely, you'll also find the aged and subtle oak note. |
| Вкус | 89 | Sweet and unobtrusive on the palate. All the aromas are intricately interwoven. Sherry, orange, tobacco, and leather are all present. There's also a floral note (lovage?). The 51% ABV is a perfect match for the whisky. Here, too, the oak adds a pleasantly balanced spice. |
| Финиш | 88 | Long and sweet finish. It also offers smoke and an intense wood note. Sweetened espresso and a very subtle hint of charcoal. |
A wonderfully composed Bowmore that doesn't need to make a lot of noise, but rather presents its refined flavor profile in an incredibly elegant and appealing way. The price and marketing behind this malt are debatable, but the quality is outstanding.

Medium to long drying finish, the 22+ years on wood have toned the peat down and the 51% is integrated nicely.

| Нос | 89 | N) Ash, Smokey, Scorched Wood, Raisins, Vanilla, Brown Sugar, Chocolate, Tobacco, Earth, Violet, Orange Peel, Sulfur At first, I couldn't really feel the scent because it was covered by the peat, but the more it breathes in the glass, the more it shows its true value. It has midtones of ash, smokey and charred wood. It feels like fit is emphasized a bit more than the Bowmore Core Range lineup. Heavy scents like vanilla, raisins, and brown sugar feel very soft. The chocolate and tobacco scents are also subtle, but their presence is clearly felt. The scent of purple flowers, such as assimilation and violet, is quite delicate. Behind the subtle floral scent, you can feel the citric scent of orange peel. "Newly blooming violets in the fields where the fire passed" |
| Вкус | 90 | P) Chocolate, prickly pear, coffee beans, orange peel, violet, tobacco Wow, the palette is better than the nosing. In terms of taste, you can feel the strong bittersweet taste of dark chocolate and coffee. The floral nature of prickly pear and violet and the slightly citrusy scent of orange peel combine to create a perfume-like taste. I feel like the slight sulfur smell and tobacco enhance the completeness of the taste. |
| Финиш | 91 | F) Coffee beans, hazelnut coffee, tobacco, dark chocolate, orange peel The nutty and sweet scent of coffee beans and hazelnuts The bittersweet scent of dark chocolate and the citric flavor of orange peel are in perfect harmony.
