Bowmore 15 Years Old Sherry Oak Cask The Original Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl

Much like its 12-year-old sibling, this expression matured in Oloroso sherry and bourbon casks with an Oloroso sherry-seasoned cask finish, but the extra three years of ageing add noticeably richer, darker and sweeter elements to the profile. Moist Corinth raisins and sweet dates open the nose alongside cinnamon, dark chocolate and subtle smoke, developing into a palate of cedarwood, treacle toffee, boiled sweet confectionery and clove spice with liquorice root, closing intriguingly rich and wooded with contented sweet spice that reflects the genuine depth this additional maturation time delivers.
