BOW (89)

Nose:
Oh, absolutely! The peat sings beautifully here, mingling with crushed sea shells steeped in a small pool of red-fruit-tinged seawater. Picture a windswept Campbeltown beach during an autumn storm—sweet and salty, earthy and peaty. There’s even a quirky touch of Velpon adhesive teasing the senses.

Taste:
Bold and commanding. Overripe red fruits meld with the briny tang of salted seawater. Damp black earth adds weight, while crushed sea shells scatter a mineral edge. A truly visceral experience that keeps your taste buds guessing.

Finish:
A drying finale, impressively long and lingering. The faintest trace of bitterness underscores the fade as the overripe red fruit succumbs to decay, retreating to the back of the tongue. Meanwhile, the salt, peat, and earthy tones cling resolutely to every surface of the mouth. A showcase of impeccable craftsmanship.
