This expression of Bowmore is one that i have been trying to find for a long time. I actually found it in this year's Feis Ile, at the distillery, in the "old & rare" bar. On the nose, an amazing aroma of coconut with oloroso sherry and butter. Buttery sensational. Coconut cream, roasted coffee and macerated fruits. Maraschino cherries and very winey. On the palate: Wow this is a sea wave!. Coconut and sea. Coconut milk. So lactic, this is how a whisky should be. Aftertaste is smokey, salty. A truly explosion of flavors. Overall, i gave this one 23 points on the nose, palate and aftertaste, but i had to gave it the perfect 25 score on the balance since this is the most balanced, delicious, rich Bowmore i have had in a long time. My score for it is a very honest 94 over 100.

About this bottle
This travel retail exclusive is bottled at a cask-strength of 109.8 proof, after aging predominately in former oloroso sherry casks. Springtide is named for the spring tides, when the gravitational pull of both the sun and moon cause very high and very low tides. This occurs year-round, not just the spring, but whenever there is a new or full moon.
