Description
Bowmore Distillery is located on the island of Islay, and it was founded in 1779, which makes it one of the oldest in Scotland. It utilizes mostly Islay barley, with a small percentage imported from the mainland to accommodate the volume of production. Islay whiskys are well known for their peaty, smoky character, but Bowmore malts are usually medium-peated and very well-balanced.
Bowmore 15yr Darkest single malt whisky is a replacement for the old Darkest, which many may remember did not carry an age statement on the label. It is matured in American bourbon casks for 12 years, and in hand-selected Oloroso casks for the final 3 years.
The nose is creamy, with sherry notes, spice, raisins, and sweet dates. It has a rich palate of creamy toffee, malt, smoke, and wood that is followed by a spicy finish of toffee, sherry, and barley.
