Notes van een quasi-identieke fles vanop whiskyfun:
Produced and bottled by Morrison’s Bowmore Distillers. Colour: straw. Nose: rather milky and a little porridgy at first sniffs but some lemony and peaty smells are soon to arise from the glass. Notes of oyster plate, fisherman’s net, hints of diesel oil, then lots of grapefruits rubbed lemon skin… Very pure and sharp, it reminds me of the old Bowmore 12 in its brown dumpy bottle, but also of the very good brand new one in its broad-shouldered (and controversial) new bottle. Mouth: we’re on full-citrusy mode now, with lemons in all states (candied, juice etc.), then peat, smoked tea, black pepper, grapefruit again… and a little salt as expected. Finish: not too long but very clean, coastal, salty and lemony. An excellent young Bowmore, clean and fresh like we like it. 88 points (and thanks, Fabrice).

Wat me wel opvalt is dat er onderaan het label van sample 2 staat:
Selected & bottled by Morrison's Bowmore ...
Terwijl op de versie van Serge (die ook online terug te vinden is) vermeld staat:
Produced & bottled in Scotland by Morrison's Bowmore...
Gelet op de smaak (hoewel ik het blind niet doorhad) & de Morrison's Bowmore vermelding lijkt de kans me wel groot dat het effectief om een Bowmore single malt gaat.
