Description

This Bowmore 23 Year Old 2001 Mission Gold, independently bottled by Murray McDavid, is a rare and collectible Islay single malt Scotch whisky. Distilled in 2001 and matured for 23 years, it began its journey in traditional oak casks (Bourbon Hogshead) before an exquisite 15-year finishing period in specially selected Port pipes. This expression showcases Bowmore's signature balance of peat smoke, fruit, and coastal influence, delivering a bold and assertive dram with deep power and rich, layered complexity.

Nose
Rich and aromatic, with notes of gentle peat smoke, red berries, citrus zest, honeyed malt, soft oak, hints of spice, wine sweetness, cherry blossom, and cocoa. It has a complex and elegant aroma with a sea breeze in the background, subtle sweetness of dried fruits like figs, apricots, and jammy plums, broken by vanilla and a touch of oak.
Palate
Full-bodied, oily, and layered, offering flavors of smoky peat, dark fruits, toffee, malt sweetness, warming spice, coastal embers, rose water, and dark honey. It presents a distinct mineral and petroleum note, reminiscent of an 'old wardrobe,' wax, damp stone, or oil paint, balanced by dry fruitiness (baked apples, dried plums), caramel, and spices like cinnamon and ginger.
Finish
Long, elegant, dry, and mineral, with lingering smoke, sweet red fruits, spice, refined oak, ripe fruits, sweet peat, and a hint of liquorice. The petroleum note persists, accompanied by a slight bitterness of oak, peaty smoke, sea salt, and a delicate tartness of dried fruit skins.
