Bowmore 12 Years 1990's Screen Printed Whisky Bottle

I have a rare collectible Bowmore 12 Years Single Malt (1990s) whisky bottle available for sale. Glass printed label bottling. No box.

Please note:

This is an old bottle, and the closure may have deteriorated - care should be taken when it is being opened. The item is sold as described, and we do not accept liability for the state of the closure.

Description:

A wonderful opportunity to travel back in time with a 1990's bottling from Islay's oldest distillery, Bowmore. This wonderful example of 90s Bowmore presents a classically soft peat profile.

Not for sale to persons under the age of years 18 years old.

Nose: Light & soft, a little closed off at first but relaxes with some warmth. Coal dust / chimney soot, some dusty stewed fruits with some lighter tropical fruit in the mix, and a little of the dried sweetened grapefruit that I get from some ex-bourbon Bowmores, but it comes & goes in this case. There's a very light floral soapy-ness (but that could be partly mental as well), a little earth and a metallic note with more time in the glass.

Texture: Light weight, lightly oily. A touch of heat, but not unpleasant by any means.

Taste: Light & sweet, more of that coal dust / chimney soot, and more of that lovely sweet dried grapefruit. This does remind me of a (very) toned down Bowmore Tempest actually. There's a little metallic bitterness further on, plus some apple and a light floral sweetness.

Finish: Short. Spicy and quite astringent to start with, then some dried citrus, more metallic bitterness and a little cocoa powder. Oxidised (browned) red apples and some dusty cinnamon powder, and a little gristy malt at the end.

Not for sale to persons under the age of 18 years old.

Collection preferred. But I can securely package and ship on buyer's cost and risk.
