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

This could have been a stunner, it has all the correct elements for a classic Bowmore. However, the wine casks, bring a slight harsh element especially on the taste, which ruins the score.

Nose

88 88

Baked red apples, ginger, cinnamon, pears, clover, lime citrus and of course that classic Bowmore peat smoke integrated with all the elements, shines through. Depth and character.

Taste

83 83

Sponge cake, clove, light spice, burnt sugar, pepper and liquorice.

Finish

82 82

Short/ medium finish, pepper and spice.

I'll resume this quite simply.
-This is NOT a Devil's Cask, do not expect this much
-This is 1L vs 700/750.
-They're still 4x cheaper than a DC.

This asside, it's loaded of flavors, definitely classical diluted bowmore if i can say it like this. Smoky, fruity, texture is a bit weak but hey its a 46% bowmore, quite tasty. Some nice spices and sugar in there.

For me, this is what you have when you don't want to sip an expensive bowmore but wish for this flavor profile. You just ate or smoked a cigar, well, doesnt change a thing, you pick this over the expensive stuff.

Wine cask influence continues to appeal to me with this one. The Sherry on the nose hits like a ton of bricks, and the meaty taste in the finish is just incredible.

Nose

Holy sweet Sherry (so much). Dark fruity, malty, must. Toffee, caramel, oak/vanilla.

Taste

Light, apply fruitiness, some heat.

Pepper. Burnt meat ends, SO savory. Vague banana after a bit.

Very rich, very intense sherry. Smoked raspberry. Humus, humid undergrowth. Saint-Jean fire, in the forest. We warm ourselves over a large fire in the middle of the night, in the countryside. We open a very ripe pomegranate. The grains are crushed in the hand. The juice flows between the fingers. Nice balance between smoke and red fruits. Almost maderized in the mouth. Cherry, morello cherries, blackberries, some currants, wood and charcoal. Smoked ham. Increasingly strong spices, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, gray pepper. Then jam of blueberries, quinces, apricots. Sparkling, intense, gourmet finish, wine red, cola, cocoa, coffee beans, very long, superb. Strawberry juice mixed with sugar to finish.
