Bowmore Tempest 10 year old, small batch 3. 55.6%

Nose: subdued vanilla, some smoke. A little underwhelming after the Feis Ile.

Mouth: Lively, zesty, a slight harshness. Salty.

Finish: Soft salt lingers in the back of the mouth. In a nice way.

Not bad at all. Seems like Bowmore whiskies are much more varied, and nicer, than I remember from before. "Before" mostly being a distillery tour and tasting 9 years ago.
