Bowmore Darkest 15 Year

GLASS: Glencairn Whiskey Glass NOSE: Apple pie by a campfire. PALATE: Smoky salinity leads off with a balanced sweetness following. The flavor remains savory, never cloying. Very elegant and restrained. CONCLUSION: If Isabella Rossalini were a drink. Elegant and always intriguing.

This is such a good representation of a scotch, slightly peated, a tad sweet and a great after taste. It's only shortfall is not having "complex" notes on the palate but it's otherwise a solid option when you need just a scotch

Smooth from start to finish with a slight harshness on the very tail end. Immediately sweet and then a medium smoky flavor to top it off with the bourbon coming in for the aftertaste. Very smooth, very smoky, extremely well put together.

Smoke on the nose. Sherry on the back. It’s relatively smooth. I don’t know if the combo of peat and sherry is the best but if you’re going to do it, this isn’t bad

Nose: Peat, salt/ brine, sweet toffee Palate: Light peat, salt and pepper, slightly vegetal. Very sweet with a few wispy delicate dried fruity notes Finish: Short finish. Heavy on the sherry It’s not a bad dram. The nose is somewhat better than the palate, it promises to be a great sweet, peaty whisky but it seems to lose many of the interesting layers.
