Bowmore Single Malt Islay Whisky Legend 1990s (No Box)

Bowmore Legend is a no-age-statement Islay single malt that offers a youthful, approachable take on Bowmore’s coastal style. Though discontinued, it remains a cult favorite among collectors for its balance of smoke and sweetness. Here’s a full sensory breakdown to match your nuanced palate:

Tasting Notes: Bowmore Legend

Nose :- Gentle peat smoke with hints of ash and sea air. Honeyed sweetness, ripe pear, and soft malt. A touch of coastal brine and barley grain

Palate :- Sweet upfront: honey and toffee dominate. Charred oak and a savory edge—think beef jerky and mint. Youthful vibrancy with a mealy, gristy texture

Finish :- Long and smoky with lingering peat and subtle salt. Maritime notes and a faint pine freshness

Bottled at 40% ABV, matured in ex-bourbon casks

Crafted at Bowmore’s historic distillery on Loch Indaal, using traditional floor maltings and time-honored methods

Considered a gateway Islay malt—less aggressive than some of its siblings, ideal for those easing into peat

Often found in travel retail or older bottlings from the 1990s and 2000s
