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._x000D_

NOSE_x000D_
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._x000D_
