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

A great drinking whisky, you can pour it with a lot of fun and drink it in the evening to a movie, it's fun, the drinking strength is great here and does not look thin

Nose

Fresh and slightly tart sherry, plums, light sweetness, tobacco, flowery notes, unmistakably Bowmore, light smoke, chocolate, marzipan, sour cherry, the nose looks cool due to the freshness, minty overtone, very pleasant to smell, already holds what the framework data promise

Taste

Full-bodied start, sweet, sherry, nut, raisins, espresso, tobacco, chocolate, sour, effervescent, raspberry, also floral here, the smoke is noticeable and here stronger than in the nose, ashy

Finish

dry smoke, mint, the mouth becomes fresher, salt, tingles slightly, oak, more intense, here vinous, red wine touch, creamy at the back
