Bowmore 15 year old 'Darkest' is Bowmore's most heavily sherried whisky. It is matured iniatially in ex-bourbon casks and some sherry casks, but finished for 3 years in ex-oloroso sherry casks. This whisky is as complex as they come, on the nose there is a hint of peat and saltiness, but it is dominated by leathery sherry notes, with rich fruit and tonnes of refined spice. The palate delivers a hefty punch of peat, followed by an array of dark fruits and spice. The finish is dominated by wood and fruit, extremely long and satisfying.
"A sweet, mellow and rounded dram. Vanilla fudge, dried apricots and a spicy, smoky and syrupy palate with an aromatic, smoky finish." Silver Medal, 93 points, International Wine & Spirit Competition 2019
