not that different at very first nosing but then the sherry really starts to come through, with superb notes of ‘yellow’ (fino type), dead leaves, coffee and smoke. Great balance. Then we have the peaty, farmy notes (hay), both smoked and roasted tea (hochicha), with huge and rather unusual notes of smoked sausages arising. Barbecue? Hints of mustard as well, balsamic vinegar, salted liquorice, pipe juice, tar… Luxuriant but full of ‘uprightness’ at the same time. I like it a lot

just as rich but alas, some much feared notes of ‘geranium jelly’ shine through. An odd fruitiness that just doesn’t combine well with the peat I think and that we also had in many older ‘pre-Signatory’ Edradours. Luckily, it does improve after a moment, with lots of cocoa, coffee and roasted raisins but that happens probably too late. This palate is far from being a catastrophe but it reminds me of some other Bowmores or heavily sherried Glen Gariochs (1985 anyone?) and their offbeat perfumy notes. But the nose was absolutely fabulous I must say, what a shame. 80 points (because of the stunning nose, obviously). Bowmore 37 yo 1968/2006 (43.4%, OB, bourbon, 708 bottles)
