Deep, sequential, perfect whisky. With a pleasant palette of flavors and flavors. A very successful game of sherry barrels creates a sizable herring cut, not a sherry monster.

Nose

Pectusine, apples, ash, charcoal, sherry, iodine, salted, apple-pear jam, berries, needles, juniper, lemon, black chocolate, raisins, marmalade, smoked peat, marzipan, fatty dried fish, dried apricots, white pepper , passion fruit berries. At first, a rather delicate aroma, over time, is more intense than sherry nuances.

Taste

Very delicious, butter, smoke, ash, a lot of raisins, chocolate, pepper, dark fruits, sherry, salted meat.

Finish

Intensively growing, smoky, ash, oily, oak, salty, pepper, fish on a grill, medium duration.

A rich, fruity old-school Bowmore. Lovely thick sweetness and fruitiness
are perfectly balanced with coastal and herbal notes, superbly coated
with wood smoke. Strong, intense and overwelming. A multi-layered, fine
and full-bodied character. Another excellent example of the perfect
harmony of Bowmore with sherry.

Nose

Deep and rich. Sherry flavours nicely intermingle with plums, dried
cherries, orange marmalade, sweet prunes, and liquorice. Briny notes are
present with hints of tar and rubber, covered by subtle wood smoke.
Sweet aromas of toffee, malted barley and dark chocolate emerge, lovely
lingering with hints of eucalyptus and a whiff of florals in the back.

Taste

Deliciously sweet start on the palate with sherry, dates, prunes and
raisins. This is complemented by an intense warming spiciness of oak,
cinnamon and nutmeg. Wood smoke and tar-like flavours arrive, perfectly
balanced with lovely herbal and medicinal notes, kind of cough syrup.
Sweet and fruity again with luscious oranges, dark berries, liquorice
and a briny edge with a whiff of ozone towards the finish. Lovely
savoury!

Finish

The finish is very long, sweet with dried dark fruit, liquorice, and
herbal cough syrup. Slightly drying, with some astringency, leading to a
smoky and subtle salty end. Perfect!

WITH WATER: There's more
yellow fruits coming through with a splash of water. Citrus and toffee
nicely mingle with sherry and lovely wood smoke on the nose. Water
significantly increases the sweetness on the palate with toffee and
fruits, supported by prickling spiced oak on the tongue. The finish is
very long, sweet and creamy with tender wood smoke on the tail.

Despite massive sherry influence one smells immediately - yes that's Bowmore. This is followed by figs, oranges, light leather and tobacco, dark red fruits, black tea, barely any smoke for a little salt, a slight alcoholic stinging in the nose. In the finish, the smoke comes out better as well as a spicy, slightly bitter oak. I mean to taste some violet oil. Not bad, though. He's got a couple of years under his belt. That's what a Sherry Bowmore must taste like.

Nose: Sweet smoked dry fruit. Grapes. Sunflower seeds. Oily. A wee bit of tar, ash and rubber. A tangy meatiness. Stirfry sauce. Citrus. Tobacco and dried cherries. Eucalyptus. Some chocolate and salt taffee. Florals emerge late and almost ghost-like.

Palate: Spiced chocolate sauce and lapsang souchong tea. Rum-soaked fruitcake. Leaves quite a taste of smoke and grape skins in the mouth. Or maybe plum skins. Medicinal in a fruity cough syrup kinda way. This is heavy sherry and moderate smoke. Neat.

Thoughts: May not be to everyone’s liking, but it works a treat for me.

Very dark liquid, as we know, this is colored... why Bowmore? Honestly this is useless with this market. Cooked figs, burnt berries, blueberry is the word, smooth oloroso spices, delicate alcohol presence, this is not young. Very rich but also fresh, i think ive heard this is a mix of different aged whiskies. That would make sense. Wonderful notes of rasberry chocolate at the end.

First word is Oloroso, right away the dried spices of the oloroso kicks in, you can tell by the taste, its much younger than on the nose. Orange, dark chocolate, rasberries, espresso bitterness. I'll lower the note here since if you dont like dryness, this one might not please you.

Finish

Progressive spices and then the mixture of bitterness, fruit and richness comes in. I prefer when its all coming in together but hey... its still pretty wonderful. This is a very interesting edition, it brings different horizons in the loot and if you can get a bottle of this at a decent price, its hard to equal by the same distillery.
