Bowmore 15 Year Old was matured initially in bourbon casks before a finishing period in oloroso sherry casks. It balances the distillery's signature coastal peat with layers of dark fruit, spice, chocolate, and warming oak. Rich enough for peat lovers but refined enough to pull in people who normally avoid Islay altogether.
A spiced, fruity nose with notes of prunes, sherried peels, a little sultana flavour, cinnamon and nutmeg. It develops on milky coffee and dark chocolate.
A rich, oaky palate with wood resin and creamy toffee. Hints of plum wine, damsons, black pepper, soft wood-smoke and chocolate malt.
Long, spiced finish with buttery toffee and malt.
Peaty, woody taste and flavour, which I really like, it tasted smooth was strong on the nose and throat really nice whisky, best tasted neat.
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.
