Bowmore – Sherry Matured Cask Strength 1990 16 year old Whisky

Featured in the 1001 whiskies you must try before you die book

This is the second release in a limited edition release of 3 Wood Matured expressions from Bowmore

Nose: Old leather, dark honey, ripe figs, hints of earthy smoke, aromatic spice, antique oak, sweet raisin and marzipan.

Palate: Dry and earthy to begin then reveals spicy dark fruit, red berries, aromatic tobacco, leafy/forest floor notes, toasted oak, smoked treacle toffee.

Finish: Dark fig jam, chewy sherried oak, black cherry, marzipan on christmas cake that has been close to a coal fire, more leather and smoked treacle on a long finish.

A Bowmore that comes across more mature than its 16 years with very upfront sherry oak and a more full bodied style.

Highly recommended!
