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

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.

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 ...

A very idiosyncratic and interesting Bowmore, slightly dirty just in the finish. I like it because of its idiosyncratic profile, even if it is not too complex. Measured by the amount of 1L, the price is currently still around 60-70 euros.

Nose

87 87

fruity; Notes of plums and raisins; very distinctive beautiful leather note (leather jacket); Tobacco; nicely integrated smoke note
- Interesting nose, very idiosyncratic but exciting

Taste

87 87

fruity at the start; dark cherries; dark chocolate; some leather (much more subtle than in the nose); Tobacco; delicate bacon note; a delicate smoky note (ashy) resonates in the background

Finish

86 86

medium to long; bitter; Tobacco; somewhat earthy; Smoke note with hints of cold ash

A very unusual drop, which is not always clean in the aroma, but is fun to explore.

Nose

first of all I have a full nose of burned plastic. It seems to be a candidate of its own. The sherry flavors pave the way, rather the dry variety, a strange wood chipboard aroma blocks the way down, sweet fruits, a little root vegetable. Also something old bottle flavor, something sweet metallic? I say I've never done anything like this before. Caraway fennel. Tea, if there is also some peat, I am still undecided. It is not clear, but it could be responsible for one or the other aroma.

Taste

OK, no peat, sweet and fruity, sherry aromas, tart oak, a little forest honey, also a little old bottle flavor, the aroma sticks a little on the palate, sweet, slightly metallic, a hint of root vegetables.

Finish

Eucalyptus, quite tart at the end, oak, sweet, earthy aromas, a little bitterness. Undefined flavors, but now actually something like clear evidence for the peat ... and there an idea begins to ripen.
