Bowmore 10 Year Old Tempest

Nose: a minor, but negligible alcoholic burn, but not worth worrying about. Peat and wispy layer of smoke alongside cherries, dark red fruits and a little fudge.

Palate: smokey and well spiced. A little sweetness but undeniable peat. There's a little citrus and vanilla and the smoke has gained a bonfire quality. There's great balance here.

Finish: again smoke and spice, unfortunately for me, the finish just gives up a little too quickly. Overall, a great dram.
