Once again a very delicious Bowmore, tasty would be almost unfair - he has character and would rather consciously enjoy being slugged on the side like his (also delicious) little 9-year-old brother, 75 € / liter are quite appropriate.

Nose

the smoke stops first, exotic-sweet fruit note - multivitamin juice (grapefruit / passion fruit slightly dominating) with milk chocolate, gingerbread spice, some peppermint ... after a while, then tasty smoked ham comes along

Taste

short herb-fruity (dark cherry? blood orange?), then dark chocolate, something reminds of Sachertorte, dominoes, with some pepper, here less ham / bacon, more ash, a bit dirty

Finish

long, the exotic fruit notes (passion fruit, grapefruit) sound shortly after, then pepper, ashen-bitter, an illusion of salt and bacon

On first impression, the whisky is really fun. Both in smell and taste it offers intense aromas of red and yellow fruits, sweet smoke and spicy oak. What more could you ask for.
At second glance, however, it does not look very harmonious, artificial and artificial. The smell is scented, the taste is mixed with artificial aromas.
This leaves a whisky that you drink good by the way, that is tasty, and that you like to refill, but you should not switch off the television ...

Actually, he is already doing a lot right. Varied and exciting, you taste the origin, but not boring. Less bitter, however, he should have been finally in the mouth and the finish.

Nose

Freshly flavored, spicy smoke rises on fermented fruits. Leather remains in front of a tannery, old tobacco leaves. Spicy at the beginning, then becomes increasingly fruity and shows notes of plums and raisins. Many fine-seasoned spices: cloves, juniper berries, bay leaves, a little cinnamon.

Taste

Currant juice and mild smoke at the beginning. Strong and dry when starting. Dark chocolate, caramel, leather and tobacco give the whisky a "dark" finish. With the time getting bitter, cinnamon is again. Reminds a little of Lindt's Christmas chocolate.

Finish

Medium long, dry, still smoky (cold), with a tart, almost bitter spicy note, lots of chocolate.

For me he leaves a somewhat ambiguous impression. Very nice, loud base one OA Bowmore I'm actually on bittertones. but with this Bowmore they just bother me a bit. The tart comes from the red wine barrels. I really like The Devil's Casks - Small Batch Release III. But dyed according to base. Hard to believe . If only the high price and the color were not

Nose

For me, the orange peel and grapefruit dominate, followed by smoked bacon cubes.

Taste

Here too the sweet grapefruit comes through after the sweetness. Again these smoked fat bacon cubes and tart liquorice.

Finish

medium, an interplay between sweet and bitter.

very round and easy to drink - unfortunately the body is a bit weak

Nose

86 86

Red berries and sour cherries surrounded by a fine cloud of smoke, dark chocolate

Taste

86 86

Bacon and medium-strong smoke, sugared currant jelly, chocolate with orange oil, leather, some iodine and sweet tobacco - overall a little thin, no muscle man

Finish

85 85

medium-long finish with delicate smoky sherry fruitiness

Nose

86 86

A combination of lightly smoked bacon and yellow fruits. Maybe passion fruit or ripe peaches. A slightly maritime leather note also resonates. Overall, the smoke is discreetly held back.

Taste

85 85

A spicy, salty note determines the mouthfeel. Little by little, the smoke from the background works its way forward. dark cherries, but a little faint on the chest. Already here a slight bitter note.

Finish

85 85

A warming finish that becomes increasingly bitter. A hint of dark chocolate and subdued smoke. You can have this paint in your bar cabinet without any problems and will drink it again and again, but not the big hit in my opinion.

A little contradictory, as for me. Specific aroma. Maybe not enough sample to try.

Nose

86 86

Roasted nuts in sugar glaze, oriental sweets (baklava type), sweet ashes, new gum (with talc), candies "Crayfish", burnt sugar, cookies with chocolate-nut filling in milk, a bunch of oak, noticeably sweet, with spices, fragrant field herbs, moisture, peppermint, dust and cardboard, granite, cowshed, barbecue sausage, hot chocolate, dark bread.

Taste

88 88

Smoke, ash, fuel oil, sleepers, juicy, barbecue (meat on the grill), dried fruits.

Finish

86 86

Long, knitting, thick, oily, ash, nut-chocolate sweetness.

Advance information about my point allocation:
I rate my whisky's privately with a ten-point scale
(XX, X of 10.0)!

Smell / nose
Leathery and greasy smoke, overripe cherries, plums, red wine, all in all a lot of dark fruit.
Later fuller and more mature in the nose, almost heavy!
Slight sulphurous tinge, hints of orange.

Taste / mouth
Fruity, sweet, dark fruits, drying out easily, something heavy deposits on the tongue as a coating (mixture of tobacco and leather). Chocolate, coffee.
Rauch integrated very well!

Departure / throat
Medium-long - long, dry, spicy, dark fruits, spices (Christmas), a touch of salt, orange. After a long time, some mint.

notes
Great to smell! Light complexity. Balanced.

I let the dram breathe in the glass for about an hour. A great malt. Very pleasant aroma combination. Very balanced and the smoke is well integrated. Delicious. I would have thought him older blindly.

Nose

Nice start, some smoke, rather reserved, lots of fruit, chocolate, slightly spicy, later some peppermint and a hint of smoked ham, really great aromas

Taste

fruity sweet in the beginning accompanied by a subtle smoky note. Chocolate, slightly pepper, very slightly bitter later, dark chocolate, at the end the smoked ham comes again but this time on the ashy side, becoming oily

Finish

long finish, again sweet and fruity with a light smoky note, but here also a little salty in the background. Chocolate present again here too
