Bowmore Darkest Sherry Cask Finished 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Bowmore Darkest, a relatively new addition to the range of Bowmore super-premium whiskies, is produced by extended maturation in hand selected x Bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, combining raisin, chocolate and smokey flavours for a distinctively different Bowmore experience.
Other reviews... Rich copper color. Molasses, sherry, caramelized nut, and raisin aromas. A supple entry leads to a a fruity medium-to full-bodied palate of toffee, baked orchard fruit, brown spice, and peat with a touch of smoky embers and sea salt. Finishes with a nice wave of sweet honey, pepper, eucalyptus, and camphor. Very deeply flavored and complex. 43%Alc./Vol. 94 points (Exceptional) tastings.com
...Darkest now has an age statement of 15 years old. This new release is an improvement from the original Darkest, both of which are succulently sherried. It is fuller in flavor and more visceral, in both the nose and palate. These differences are subtle, but positive. Notes of lush fruit, raisin, pot-still rum, and Heath bars. Citrus and wood spices emerge, along with burning peat embers that linger on the finish. Nicely done. 90 points - maltadvocate.com, (Vol. 16, #2) Reviewed by: John Hansell size>
