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.
This would make an ideal gift. Good with cube of ice .A very smooth, enjoyable whisky. Good choice if you are a whisky lover .Perfect as a special treat or as a gift. Lovely to round off an evening or a difficult day!I highly recommend this to family and friends .
I really like this, mildly smokey, lovely long finish, but I think it is more complex after a minute or two. I had some of the Bowmore Mariner, a neighbor had it, and honestly, I want more, and you can't buy it. So, I've been trying to hunt down similar ones to that, though I quite like the current Bowmore 15.
Really good whisky
I’ve been drinking Bowmore 12 for several years and finally decided to treat myself to this one on my b-day. Sweeter than I expected. You really can taste that it was in a Sherry cask and it also tastes a little “woody” for lack of a better word, but it works.
My first real foray into peated whiskies and I was pleasantly surprised. Easy drinking with the sherry taking the edge off the peat making it far more palatable.
