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.
“Just one thing to say...just lovely!”

My fave dram by a country mile.
Disappointed with my purchase, not worth the money despite the awards it achieved.
I'm not normally a whisky drinker but I drank this one neat to get the true flavour, it has a nice smoky smell and sherry taste, nice warm feeling as it goes down, great for rounding off a nice evening meal.
I personally do not like a smokey whisky but if you do I don't think it gets smokier! Barring that it is flavoursome.
Bowmore 15 it is a very good single malt whiskey. The sherry casks gives a lovely rich and smoky flavor, it is there also a little bit spice and smooth taste, highly recommended.
