Originally released for the Travel Retail market, this 10 year old Bowmore single malt is a marriage of Spanish oak Sherry casks and hogsheads, resulting in a fine balance between classic coastal Islay smoke and Sherried sweetness.
Salted pretzels, fruitcake and a pinch of cinnamon.
Flamed orange peel, sea salt, Cadbury Bournville.
Spiced rum warmth, with layers of toasted malt.
Not bad but nothing special. No long.
Bought a bottle in tenerife (litre) €28 very good whisky, but not as good as bowmore surf
Always liked Bowmore, no exception here. I would say it's how the company describes it. If you favor Islay scotch you will like it.
Very intense caramel flavor, can not tell what weird taste is about this looks-tasty whisky, so regret to get this rubbish whisky.
Bought 2 bottles at Airport which gave a further discount (over£75) great value. Nose - you can sense the influence of the sherry cask with tinges of marmalade and raisins. Palate - you are immediately hit by the spicy flavours of predominantly orange and bitter chocolate with further spicy notes tingling on the front of the tounge. Finish - this lingers in the mouth and reminds you of the provenance of an ISLAY whisky.
