Bowmore - Single Malt 17 year old Whisky

Many a fan of Bowmore shed a tear at the passing of the 17 year old as a core release and if you like Sherry cask influence and classic Bowmore peat smoke then this is well worth seeking out. Nose: Charred chocolate, burnt liquorice, bbq smoke with a whiff of the coast, fish oils, menthol, smoked fruit cake, earthy ginger, rootsy/forest floor, aromatic cigar ash. Palate: Smoked orange marmalade, ginger cake, peppery and salty notes, dark chocolate, treacle tart, tarry liquorice, leather with dark sherry stains. Finish: Rich smoke and sweet sherry to the fore with salted caramel, gingercake, tarry leather, orange rind, earthy anise, charred peppers over peat smoke bbq. A chewy and dark masterpiece of a Bowmore with a Sherry & smoke balance to die for.
