A very interesting vatting of 1969 Bowmore, Bruichladdich, and Bunnahabhain in order to bring the whisky up to just above 40% as the cask of Bowmore was apparently below the threshold. Definitely does not expect anything near the quality of the legendary 1960s and 1970s Bowmore but at just around 750eur you really can't go wrong with a 1960s 36yo Islay whisky!
Nose
Alot of exotic fresh sweet tropical fruits, definitely a 1960s Islay alright, an amazing nose with a good balance between the floral sweet fruitiness & the subtle sea smokiness, peaches, subtle & elegant smoke
Body
Again, the smoke is there but very subtle & elegant as it gives way to the more prominent fruity sweetness, a bit briny, gets more bitter towards the end, oranges, peaches, creamy, mangoes,the body is definitely very Bunnabhain-dominated
Finish
Medium creamy finish, the creaminess is quite mouthcoating
