The Bowmore Darkest is a vat of the darkest casks the Blenders can find in the warehouses of Bowmore. Most of the whisky experts look at the age of the whisky. The darkest is a very good example that a whisky with a normal age and a very prominent cask selection can be premium, too.
Matured in an inspired combination of both bourbon and sherry casks it’s the final three years spent in Oloroso sherry casks that give Bowmore 15 Years Old ‘Darkest’ one of the most beautifully balanced Bowmores the rich deep color reflected in its name and its warming finish. 43% ABV Tasting Notes: Color: Treacle dark amber. Nose: Delicious dark chocolate sun-dried fruits and a tell-tale wisp of Islay smoke. Sip: Wonderful cedar wood and rich treacle toffee. Savor: Robust and complex finish with a hint of sherry tannin.
