Morrison - Bowmore 27 year old Millennium

One of the beautiful, historic bottles i managed to win at "The Perfect Collection by Richard Gooding" Auction, was one Morrison Bowmore bottle that was never sold in the markets: the 27yo Millennium. This blended malt from Auchentoshan, Glen Garioch and Bowmore of course, was released for the celebration of the year 2000, and was given to Morrison-Bowmore workers and team as a gift. This is a 27 year old whisky, a very collectible item. Bottled at 40%abv. On the nose, it start with smoked figs; caramel, chocolate. There is definitively a maritime profile here; Sown land. After a first sip,  i got dehydrated oranges, rum and raisins; it is really a fig madness. On the palate, it is fruity, sweet and salty. Pineapple, chocolate, salt, dates and Vanilla. Aftertaste is incredible. Chocolate, there is this smoked hazelnut note; ginger spice. Dates, molasses and a Smoked Bowmore Marmalade. Overall, this is a great whisky, that is easy to describe as the perfect mixture of the three distilleries used. It has the chocolate notes from lowland's Auchentoshan; the Sherriness from Glen Garioch and of course the mild peat from Bowmore. The experiment went perfect, specially because it feels super elegant on the nose. I have enjoyed it a lot, but i have to say that on the palate it could be better. My score for this incredible bottle is 91 over 100.
