The nose bursts with vibrant tropical fruits, led by passionfruit, pink grapefruit, and green mango, accompanied by hints of pineapple, preserved citrus, and ripe stone fruits. Beneath the fruit lies the distinctive “dirty” character prized by Bowmore enthusiasts, bringing layers of wax polish, coastal minerality, and subtle earthy notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1867\" data-end=\"2255\"\u003eThe palate is rich and beautifully textured, displaying Bowmore’s hallmark waxy mouthfeel alongside waves of tropical fruit sweetness. Bright citrus oils, candied grapefruit, and exotic mango are balanced by maritime sea spray, salted caramel, and gentle oak spice.
