A 15 year old released in January of 2007 from the legendary Bowmore distillery in Islay, finished in Sherry casks, imparting a rich sweetness that blends well with the peaty elements.
Dark and punchy. Sherry notes, juicy Corinth raisins. Spices. Creamy, mochaccino, sweet dates.
Rich, woody, pine oil. Syrupy. Lovely, creamy toffee and malt. Smoky.
Spicy, toffee, sherry, barley.
Lovely colour and smell. Taken with ice and lemonade (sacrilege to some I know, but I like it). Full of Strength and character. Definitely one to keep handy
The smoke to over the taste and smell, smelt like a bonfire. I tried it with a mixer but the smoke took over to the point it became undrinkable.

This is really good whiskey, not my usual but enjoyed the peaty smooth taste. Drank it neat & this was very good.
I’m not usually a fan of peaty whisky, but this was beautifully balanced with sweetness. It is my first Bowmore, and I think I would buy it again for the price
