Remarks:
I find it a bit weak in the nose. You don’t notice anything of the bourbon barrels there. On the palate and in the finish, it can certainly convince with a good complexity for the age
Overall I rate this Whisky 85/100 points
- Nose: 83/100 points
Bowmore typical nose, light smoke, maritime salty, light sherry aromas, spicy. - Taste: 86/100 points
Creamy, slightly sweet with a hint of dark fruits, a little vanilla and caramel, later on with sherry notes and the slightly salty tangy. Smoke only very subtle. - Finish: 86/100 points
dark fruits, sherry, sweet, vanilla, slightly spicy, light smoke in the background. Getting a bit drier towards the end.
