Tasted February 18, 2022The dried fruit taste almost had me thinking I was sipping a Sauvignon Blanc. This is one you have to drink a bit first before you can appreciate it. Bowmore 15 has a delightful fruity earth nose. A deeper pull brings torched wood and raisins. The nose is strong, creating a taste of raisin jam to the mouth with a little smoke. The palate is not as impressive for me: raisins and some kindle wood at first, followed by an oak taste with sea salt. There is little burn, but the salt and wood leave a dry taste in the mouth as it makes its way down. Not nice at first, but the more you consume the more you begin to enjoy.104.95 CAD per Bottle -

Tasted February 16, 2022The nose is sweet, with syrup and vanilla. There's a slight wine scent as well as some dark fruit. The palate is thick, very rich, sweet and syrupy, somewhat smokey, with a bit of dry wine, and some dustiness. There is a faint maraschino cherry flavour. The finish is fairly dry, very smooth, and the Sherry really shines on the end. This would be one of my top three whiskys.
