Bowmore Darkest 15 Year

Tasted at a bar, in a flute glass. Bottle level and age unknown. Sherry influence heavy on the nose, with a campfire undertone. Roasted trail mix over a campfire in October, with virgin dried fruit thrown into the mix. The palate is more of the same, with the smoke and sweetness. Sweet, dark fruits dominate the sweet side, while the smokiness never takes on a rubbery character. Mouth-feel is medium, and ABV is low enough to be well-managed. Some oak flavor comes through after 5-10 seconds. The dried fruit and smoke never overpower each other, and ride the long finish together as friends.

Campfire smoke, dark dried fruits, especially dried prunes. Strange but I feel feel iodine and salt... enjoyed it to the last sip. No alcohol punch. Really smooth and pleasant. Onne of the comments sad " its like an old friend you can spend the whole day with.." totally agreed

Really tasty. Smooth. Not super complex.
