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.
The sherry oak taste is heavy on this one. Starts off with a nice peat smoke, then fruity, flamed orange peel and cinnamon. The smoke comes back at the end with a long aftertaste of vanilla and fruits.
I had Bowmore 10 Year last night. Smoky taste was amazing.
