Bowmore Vault Edit1°N

First nose: mineral, peaty, salty immediately. After water: peat recedes, insulin/medicinal notes emerge, spring water freshness. Taste: salt on entry, body, and bitter salty finish. Name doesn’t lie. After food (smoked salmon with Gorgonzola): peat almost gone, butteriness and pepper emerge — the distillate character without regional mask. After 2 drops water: aroma sweetened, woodiness appeared, almost tobacco-like. Would be 88 solo, 85 in context of flight.
