2002 BA 17y

About

Bowmore's 2002 BA is a refined Islay single malt that elegantly captures the distillery's classic character. Bottled by Blackadder, this 17-year-old expression strikes a fine balance between smoky peatiness and fruity complexity. At 53.40% ABV, it delivers impressive depth and character without overwhelming the palate, showcasing the maritime personality that defines Bowmore's coastal heritage. The nose presents clean, smoky notes followed by tropical fruits, citrus, and subtle honey sweetness. On the palate, more intense smoky peatiness emerges alongside briny salinity, complemented by dried fruits, toffee, and medicinal undertones. The finish is long and drying, with persistent peat smoke, light pepper, and hints of bitter oak that create a sophisticated conclusion. A whisky of genuine elegance and complexity.
