Bowmore Darkest 15 (Scottish Single Malt, 43% abv)
Nose: The sherry effect on the nose is quite intense. Dark chocolate, caramel fudge and raisin notes are accompanied by smoked, sooty and very light medicinal scents. I'd believe it if they said it was an aged rum, not whiskey. A balanced, appetizing nose.
Palate: An intense peat-sherry character dominates the palate as it is on the nose. Peat and burnt flavors are accompanied by cinnamon, raisins, dark chocolate and honey. Creamy and full.
Oak, light black pepper and intense caramel are felt throughout. Aromatic and powerful.
Finish: Long sooty (like ash), dry, slightly salty finish.
Comment: Bowmore Darkest 15 is an overall very aromatic and full-bodied expression. It is one of the good examples of sherry and peat whiskeys.
