Region: Islay
Independent Bottler: Kingsbury
Age: 32 years
ABV: 53.2%

Not what I expected from an early 1970s Bowmore because it’s from the legendary Kingsbury Celtic label series but for the price it is acceptable for the price of 60 SGD for a 1cl pour

Nose

Quite a meaty smoke, reminds me more of an Ardbeg, creamy, slightly grassy, a bit too elegant and soft imo

Body

Slightly sweet, the smokiness is very mellow in a disappointing way, quite floral but not soapy

Finish

Long smoky finish
