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 toffee and malt flavour ..I drink whiskey neat with a little water A taste to savour on a cold night . Great for a present..
Great tasting whiskey. Warming on the pallette. I will definitely be buying this again. Great whiskey for a gift.
Amber in colour, peaty aroma. Drank neat. Full flavour but astringent.
I absolutely loved this. After a long work shift it is perfect to come to has a night cap. I would highly recommend it.
I really wanted to like this more than I do. I've taken to a couple sherry finish selections as of late (for the smoothness) but I found I need to add a few drops of water to knock the initial bite down. I actually find myself liking the Bow 12yo better, go figure. Further to that there isn't enough peat in this one either (for me), but then again I would say Lag 16 is the absolute best Islay out there (within my budget). Cheers
