Bowmore 15 Year Golden & Elegant

After opening the bottle, you would tell it is a peat sweet bomb. Unfortunately, it turns out that the wood dominates the spirit and the distillery style. Chill-filtered, coloured, but really oily. Gave it a chance, buying a bottle. Starting from the nose it feels like straightway like a bourbon. Vanilla, honey, caramel, apricot sweet nectar - all feelings from a good bourbon. There is a touch of sea feeling - salt, also a soft earthy peat and roasted salty almonds. Obviously the bourbon casks are dominating the spirit on the palate as well. There is an earthy smoke, but is really nectar sweet. After it there is a memory of peat forgotten of the current honey, fruity and vanilla taste. The balanced peat reminds me of a Ledaig 10yo, but there is less spirit character here. I am not that fan of sweet whiskies.
