Bowmore Single Malt Scotch Dorus Mor Small Batch Release III 10 Yr
Bowmore Dorus Mor 10 Years is a small batch (2,400 bottles ~ 8 casks) release from Bowmore that’s delivered at a state that’s as close as you can get to drinking straight out of the barrel; full cask strength and non-chill filtered. It’s a release that many folks enjoy and some people go absolutely gaga for. Not being much of a Bowmore fan in general, I approached this one with cynicism and trepidation.
EYE
Light caramel
NOSE
Malt, fruit, smoke, spice, vanilla, caramel, honey and dry cake. There’s a bit of that burnt hazelnut meets copper note that seems to be the Bowmore signature but it’s not overwhelming.
PALATE
Malt, fruit, smoke, spice, vanilla, caramel, honey and dry cake. Some of that same burnt hazelnut meets copper note.
FINISH
Long warm dissolve of peat, caramel and dry cake that fades to a floral note
