Bowmore 15 Years Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Review
For a step into the admittedly intimidating world of peated whisky, make this bottle your first destination. While it retails at a premium, take comfort in the knowledge that it will deliver among the most profound aromatic experiences you will ever encounter within the realm of the spirits. Vibrant notes of red berries, violets, golden raisins, and peat begin the show. The palate then chimes in rich, powerful character, with smoky peated notes at its core, and fresh berry flavors adding layers and energy.
