Bowmore 15 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Bowmore 15 Year Old, formerly labeled "Darkest," is the sherried heart of the Islay distillery's core range. Bowmore has been distilling on the shore of Loch Indaal since 1779, making it Islay's oldest licensed distillery, and the 15 Year spends twelve years in bourbon casks before a three-year finish in Oloroso sherry casks, which gives it its deep mahogany color.

Bottled at 86 proof, the 15 shows a sharply nutty, citrus-laden nose with black cherry, then orange, almond and dark chocolate on the palate before fresh seaweed, iodine and gentle peat smoke roll in. The finish is long, with raisin, caramel sauce and a drift of smoke. Drinkhacker graded it an A-, the highest mark in the core lineup. For anyone who loves both sherry and smoke, this is one of the best-value bottles on Islay.
