Bowmore 1997/2022 (53.2%, Berry Bros. & Rudd for Kirsch Import, sherry butt, cask #79, 515 bottles)

I love it that BBR would now proudly add this mention to their labels when appropriate; Finish: NONE. Wonderful selling point, I say! Colour: gold.
Colour: gold.
Nose: 91 points. Indeed this is embarrassing, despite a sherriness that’s a tad more present and a little fatter, this is another straight Bowmore that’s got everything you need, and nothing you don’t need. See what I mean? Wax, sourdough, shoe polish, chalk, new tweed, riesling, oysters, seawater, peat smoke, lemon… etc. With water: emphasis on seawater and raw chalk and wool. The most stunning smoky porridge, when they add a nip of… Bowmore, for an even better breakfast. My friends here in France believe that’s part of a ‚full Scottish breakfast‘ anyway. Ha, the French.
Mouth: perhaps a little simpler, but even more perfect. Someone’s just decided to smoke some citron liqueur using peat. With water: does the peacock’s tail, with mango, passion fruit, seawater, lapsang souchong, oysters, bitter almonds, whelks, apple peel, fresh walnuts, etc., etc., etc.
Finish: pretty long, a tad more peppery, although the whole would have been rather rounder than the two other 1997s.
Comments: this one too brought me back to vintages such as 1967-1972. I think we’re about to double-check that…
SGP:654 – 91 points.
