Taste:
Smoke, cedar wood, sweet syrup, spicy, sherry, dark fruits, plums

Comment:
This Bowmore was created only from the darkest casks. The statement behind this bottle is, not the age of the whisky is important, only the cask in which it has matured.
Nosing:
delicious dark chocolate, sun-dried fruits and a tell-tale wisp of Islay smoke.
Taste:
wonderful cedar wood and rich treacle toffee
Finish:
the robust and complex finish with a hint of sherry tannin
