Суммаризация отзывов

Лёгкий «ежедневный» шерри-солодовый виски с дымом и торфом, хорошее соотношение цены и качества, но часто критикуют за разбавленное тело и короткий финиш.
развернуть подробно
В большинстве отзывов виски описывают как хорошо сбалансированный шерри-солодовый виски с дымом и торфом: в носу и вкусе отмечают изюм, тёмные и свежие фрукты, красные ягоды, шоколад, кожу, орехи, ваниль, медовую карамель, цитрус и морскую соль, иногда с олоросо-влиянием и «старорежимными» нотками. Его хвалят как лёгкий, приятный и подходящий для знакомства с торфяными виски, с приятной сладостью и средним или средне-долгим финишем, а отдельные дегустаторы называют его насыщенным, бархатистым, сложным и «очень круглым», иногда даже лучше 18-летнего. При этом встречаются и негативные или противоречивые мнения: жалобы на слишком разбавленное, водянистое или тонкое тело, древесную и дубовую горечь, упрощённый, короткий или «полый» финиш, а также на «безвкусность», плохую партию, мыльные и горькие ноты. Часть дегустаторов прямо называет его скучным, «картонным», искусственным или «приручённым», а аромат может казаться неприятным (старый шкаф, гараж, дом престарелых, странный «рыбный» нос). Отдельно упоминаются претензии к E150 и пожелания более высокой крепости и нефильтрованной холодом бутилировки; при более высокой крепости он мог бы конкурировать с Lagavulin 16.

Daily dram at good value for money for fans of the profile, too diluted and artificial for me.

Good nose, decent on the palate and finish though a bit simple, light, and woody. Sweet sherry, smoke, little maritime, vanilla, wood, citrus.

Нос87Quite good. Maritime smoke, pepper, lime and grapefruit juices. Quite smoky, maritime. Smoked kipper, honey, little wood, little sherry. Good fruitiness and citrus. Slightly nutty.
Вкус83Vanilla, honey, smoke, BBQ smoke, only a little maritime with slight kipper. Sweet sherry, cooked oranges, prunes, a bit candied. New wood, some grapefruit but not much. Really becomes a bit modernised here, and too woody, but still nice. A bit light.
Финиш84Vanilla, honey, quite simple. Some sweet sherry, smoke, slightly maritime, new wood, a little citrus, pepper. Better composed than the palate I think.

Sampled in a horizontal Bowmore tasting with 12 to 18 (Old and new Sherry Oak series), 25 and a SC. Few more abv would be nice - my favourite across the old range from 12, 15, to 18
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос83More old-style Sherry in the vatting compared to the Sherry Oak Series. Sour cherry and plums. Granola. Better intensity than 12 in the smoke. Touch of citrusy, sticky toffee, dark chocolate. Subtly coastal. Wet malt on malting floor.
Вкус84Dark plums, raisins, dried dates, and prunes. Then there's bitter oak restoring the balance. Mouthfeel is slightly thin but decent enough as a daily drink. Iodine and smoke at the background. Hint of lavendar. On the verge of watery but the extra 3% does helped.
Финиш83Short-mid. Drying. The dried grapes lingers. Slightly thin.

Aroma: open, immediately a mixture of dried fruit and ash. After standing for a while, even more ash, wood, minerals, drying plaster, sweet and sour dried fruit decoction (apples, pears, dried apricots), exotic juice, smoked prunes, berry-nut sorbet. Very nice old wood, similar to old lacquered furniture. Taste: delicate, oak-tannin, smoked fruits, light smokiness, minerality, salt, chalk, walnuts, berry jam, menthol. Finish: medium length, spicy oak, berries, activated carbon, chalk, some spices and walnuts. Score: 87 Bottom line: A woody, dried fruit, medium phenolic malt from Islay. Comprehensive enough for your 15 years old

april 2021 unfortunately i did not manage to get my hands on some older independet bowmores and had only tasted the standard range, to which this dram also belongs. for me these standard bowmores always taste like cardboard. they are not that bad, but do not excite me either. for the money you spend on this bottle you can get much better stuff i guess. still, very drinkable. i would not say that i am disappointed, but maybe a bit bored by it? i guess if the plan of the evening is to get drunk while having an ok dram this is fine for me.

Don Cassi Expert Senior 83 08 jul 2021 10:28 am
Primarily earthy root vegetable notes on the nose, as well as dark, dried fruits, dates, woody and spicy, slightly damp tobacco and light smoke. Great fruity-spicy play of aromas, I like it a lot, but it could be smokier. Soft, oily and round in the mouth with slightly sour notes, but mainly fruity and spicy with notes of tobacco. In the finish there is a good splash of dark chocolate, which covers the remaining aromas. Behind it is a faint plume of smoke. Length: 6/10 Great, intense, sherry-heavy malt that is relatively tame for Islay. Overall I like it very much, the coloring and the somewhat low alcohol content only slightly spoil the impression. Rating: B+
Kraddell Expert Junior 75 08 oct 2021 1:46 am
Last sample of the Whisky Collection box by 'Drinks By The Dram'. I believe this is my first ever Sherry BA Peated whisky. As I usually like sherry BA, but dislike peat, this should be interesting! This final whisky of the very pleasant box, pours quite a bit darker than most of these. Dark, 'old gold' copper. Scent is surprisingly light on the peated side. More like a whiff of smoke, than a blast of peat. Fairly strong wood presence, notes of vanilla, dry touch (nutty) by the oloroso are mildly present. In the mouth, immediately the density takes a lot of attention. The first aroma's are very strong, rough wood (positive!) . Drying from the sherry. very full flavored. Peat isn't nearly as strong as I thought it'd be. Tad sweet. Awesome. Never expected this to be in the better half of the box, let alone to be amongst my favorites of the set !

S 7 Enjoyable but lack the strength to carry the profile all the way to finish. A nice smoky Islay whisky with a good amount of sherry influence. [78-82] Good buy when I've extra money to spend, most whisky stays within this band. N 26 Sweet peat. Citric tropical fruit (Mango). Think dark chocolate seasoned with sea salt flakes and dried wild berries. Mildly spiced fruitcake. A whiff of medicinal peat from a distance. P 25 Fruity (Peach) & spicy. Moderate, ashy peat. Sherry more prominent on palate. Smoky malt. Tobacco & wood. F 23 Mid, smoky finish. Fruit, warm spices lingering. A touch of bitter peat to end.

Julia E S Expert Senior 85 24 apr 2022 9:25 am
Nose Blood oranges, a little grapefruit, Lipton ice tea peach aroma, gravy, some lovage, bay leaf, subtle lavender, the notorious Bowmore Fizzers, cake batter, the wood shows through hazelnut and cocoa notes. The smoke is typically quartz, slightly ashy, mineral and maritime, (sandy beach) Very nice nose. Unfortunately, the aromas are less present on the tongue than on the nose (a bit flat), although you have to hold the malt too well to find the aromas throughout. In the finish then also significantly more one-dimensional than the nose promises. Oaky with hazelnuts, pine needles and a little tart almond. Conclusion: Solid whisky for less than 50 euros. But Bowmore could certainly get more out of it if it weren't colored, chill-filtered and bottled at 46%.

hogsheadwhisky Expert Senior 87 01 mar 2021 2:57 pm
For the current price of around € 55, you get a very good sherry malt with smoke support. From the nose to the finish, it doesn't fall off. The 43% are pleasant and are completely sufficient for a nice drinking pleasure. In the nose I would have found a similarity to the Benromach 15y. However, in terms of taste, I find the Bowmore stronger on the smoke side and therefore more complex.

August 28, 2022 78 / 100 Color: Dark amber, tinted with caramel. AROMA - 20.5 / 25 Cherry-vanilla and a touch of leather. It's delicately citrusy, floral, and soapy. The smokiness is more reminiscent of charred barrels than peated malt. A hint of chocolate-dipped cherries at the finish. Overall, bland and lacking in character. TASTE - 20 / 25 Soapy and fruity, varnishy, and delicate. Further, barrel wood and campfire smoke, a bit of toffee, plums, and caramel. Quite oily. FINISH - 18 / 25 Cherry and delicate campfire smoke. Warming and pleasant. BALANCE - 19.5 / 25 From the original Bowmore sample set. It's OK and that's all because it offers very little. I will definitely never buy it because it is not worth the price.

N- A wow, solid sphere of aggressive smoky heats for good starts. Molasses and subtle brine above the glass, with lush of thick heather smokes that with wee honey and zesty cream fruits. Evolved to solvent dried fruits, mineral, rum-ish and muddy peat at the tail. Rebel and aggressive that could be handful, but I like this style. (89/22) P- Creamy, sour fruits with rounded rich oak and nutty smokes. Well body but missing some filler here, an opposite to what derived on nosing. (86/20) F- Medium, subdue. Modern with echoing fruits and liquorice, dry and winery. (85/19) Body/Balance- As saying, win by (just) a nose... 86/20 Weighted Rate:- 81pt — at The Whisky Bar, Kuala Lumpur.

Crushed blackberries, damp wood, forest peat. Caramel, old, heavily waxed leather, black earth rich in humus. A wisp of ash. At first, sherry dominated, then smoke emerged after a while. Very good balance. Woody palate, sap, pear, plum and raisins, a touch of warming spice. Lots of dark chocolate in the finish, and even coffee, quite long actually. Mocha. A bitter note on the retro-nasal. A somewhat fragile and nuanced expression, a welcome change from the usual overpowering wines. It's not bad at all, it's even very good provided you ventilate it sufficiently, but I find the Darkest better, it may be an impression. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2020/05/bowmore-15-yo.html

["Another brick in the wall" tasting session - n°18] It's interesting, but maybe not my prefered style. There's something weird in this because there's peat and sherry in the ingredients, yet the end result smells neither like peat, neither totally like consensual sherry either. So, interesting. But I'd take any Laimrig over this anyday.

Tasted blind: peated: machine / mechanical, caramel brown (colored?), cloves, sweet and rich aroma, seaweed (sushi-ish), probably Islay, OK but not great. Post reveal: I could've guessed this was Bowmore, the whisky nerds' least favorite Islay distillery (: it's also lowest on my list and this blind tasting of the 15 confirms that.

Beautiful nose with a well-balanced mix of smoke and fruitiness. These aspects continue wonderfully on the palate, with a whole load of berries on the finish. A really good standard. Candidate for repurchase.

I want to like it, but can't quite get past its one major fault, a lackluster body.

Нос84Soft smoke rises from the glass into my nose, to a slightly alcoholic note, despite the "only" 43% Vol. In addition to ripe fruits towards oranges and wild berries, but also beautiful earthy notes. The whole thing is rounded off by a piece of pocket coffee.
Вкус85On the tongue, the Bowmore shows a nice mix of smoke and honey sweetness. For 43% Vol. Amazingly strong and at the same time well integrated alcohol. The fruit gradually comes through more and goes in the direction of currant jelly. Overall nice and round and just delicious.
Финиш84Medium with dark chocolate, soft smoke and lasting honey sweetness.

Very nice nose, very round taste and the sherry can be tasted clearly, medium-long finish. PLV - sometimes under 40 € still available, great.

Has (had) its ups and downs in batch variation and even one bottle can oddly differs profoundly from day to day/month to month as I have not noticed with other malts. Would improve bottled ncf, no color @46% abv.
Malty1797 Expert Junior 40 07 may 2021 1:57 am
Apparently i don't like whisky from Bowmore, this one was borderline undrinkable for me. Luckily i was able to give this 80% full bottle to a friend.

The Bowmore 15 Years Sherry Cask Finish kind of took me by surprise. It's flavoursome and outperforms what you would expect on the basis of the 43% alcohol strength.

Pleasant whisky, very good overall taste/aftertaste, certainly does not disappoint, I can recommend it to everyone.
Island Expert Junior 82 06 dec 2024 10:25 pm
Price Quality is just fine with this one. Quit an easy drinker for a peat/smoked whisky. The average ABV level and 15 years in the casks, brought up a balanced and enjoyable dram. Some peat and a bit more smoke, smells of bacon, dried fruits and a little old bookshelf. Soft on the palate, sherry sweets on the forground, smoke and spices coming more through. Oily mouthfeel, a little sticky. Medium finish with a little pepper, sherry and some wood in the end. I guess it would have a bit more to offer if the ABV was a little higher, like 46% To me this is a peat/smokey one you can use as a starter for people who'd like to discover peat whisky's

The whole philosophizing about whether the name "Darkest" makes sense, although Bowmore is known to color ... so what ... The whole argument over whether the 15y without the name addition Darkest is now the same or not .... so what ... Here you get in any case - especially at the PLV! - a really great whisky. For me but not quite as good as the 18y.

Ok Bowmore, without the big highlights. Appears as something tame and boring. Probably due to a combination of low ABV and medium quality of the barrels. Have tasted some fantastic sherry whiskys from Bowmore, which this one can not match.
Totoro Connoisseur 87 17 dec 2022 7:16 pm
I rather like it, as I usually do these early post-2000s Bowmores, and I find it much better than the 15-y.o. "Darkest". However, the price difference to the 18-year-old is not that high, so I would spring for the latter instead. If they would bottle this with 46 to 48 percent, it might give the comparatively priced Lagavulin 16 a run for its money.

Нос87Lovely, soft smoke, nutty sherry, old leather, red berry jam, and an idea of freshly cut fruit salad.
Вкус87A bit thin, sure, but very expressive, in equal parts sherry, smoke, and tropical fruit.
Финиш86The weak point due to the ridiculously low ABV. The flavors are still nice – now with lots of additional dark chocolate – and the smoke lingers for a good long while, but texture-wise, the finish seems a bit hollow and watery.
