Bowmore Darkest Sherry Casked #2 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Colour

Deep mahogany amber with coppery-red highlights, a rich, dusky bronze glow.

Nose

Intense sherried sweetness swells with dried fruit and dark chocolate, as Bowmore’s signature peat sighs in the background. Raisin, fig and prune cloak a vanilla-touched toffee core, while espresso and burnt sugar deepen the velvety sweetness. Subtle orange zest, cinnamon and clove thread through the smoke, and a maritime, salted oak echo lingers, inviting a lush, decadent Islay embrace.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, the palate unfolds with dark chocolate, rich espresso, and figgy raisins, layered over molasses and orange zest. A kiss of vanilla and toasted oak frames lush sherried sweetness, while Bowmore's hallmark peat adds subtle smoke and mineral tang. The finish is long and opulent, with cocoa, leather, and a salty, ember-like warmth.

Finish

Long and sumptuous, the finish drapes smoke over sherry-soaked fruit, with dark chocolate and fig lingering on the palate. Subtle maritime iodine mingles with warm peat, leaving a final kiss of salted caramel that slowly fades to a velvet, lingering glow.
