Очень высоко оценённый шерри-боумор с богатым тёмным фруктовым и шери-профилем, заметным торфяным дымом, кожей и табаком. Многие отмечают сложность и длинный, тёплый финиш.
развернуть подробно
Нос почти единодушно описывают как мощный и сложный: тёмные сухофрукты (изюм, чернослив, финики, инжир), шери-древесина, карамель и тёмный мёд, кожа и табак-сигара; неоднократно упоминаются тропические и красные фрукты (гуава, спелая папайя, манго, кровавый апельсин, вишня), кофейные зёрна и шоколад, а также лёгкий дым и минеральные, кварцевые ноты. Несколько отзывов отдельно фиксируют оттенок мыла/фиалки в аромате. Во вкусе отмечают густоту и маслянистость: тёмный шери, изюм и чернослив, тёмный шоколад, кожа, табачный лист, специи (перец, гвоздика, мускат), лёгкий торфяной дым, а также бальзамический уксус, орехи и хвойно-смолистые ноты.
Финиш описывают как длинный, тёплый и гармоничный, с табаком, шери, специями, перцем, дубом, дымом, кожей и шоколадом; в части отзывов звучат сухофрукты и лёгкая фруктовая кислинка. Отдельные рецензенты указывают, что крепкость спирта ощущается в аромате и смягчается каплей воды, что вкус уступает носу по богатству либо что финиш немного резковат (с расчётом на аэрацию бутылки), а кому-то не хватает продолжительности финиша. Несколько авторов называют этот виски лучшим или одним из лучших в линейке Timeless и в целом среди опробованных шерри-боуморов; неоднократно упоминается высокая цена.

Old peat with full of raisins and plum. So complex that I can't even describe. Without a doubt one of the best whiskies I've ever tasted.

Re-evaluated after 6 months of bottle breathing. I highly doubt I'll ever find a better bottle in my life.

It's truly magnificent. Dark fruits, forest berries, chocolate, a touch of smoke, but very dense and with a slightly pungent note. Incredibly smooth on the palate, oily with a slightly smoky fruit sorbet. Hints of exotic fruits are discernible and most clearly emerge in the salty, fruity, pipe-tobacco finish. If the bottling weren't so dry and the exotic notes more pronounced, this would easily be a 94+ malt!

Arguably the best whisky I've tried so far. Rich sherry and the old peat notes match really well with the Bowmore's unique sea breeze character.
Perfect Bowmore from a sherry cask. It doesn't get any better than this.

After drinking it, the 27-year-old is undoubtedly the best of the Timeless series. Compared to the 29-year-old, I feel that the 27-year-old is more complex and delicate, with a richer flavor. As for the 31-year-old and 33-year-old, they are simply rubbish compared to the 27-year-old, and I don't know what the Matusalem cask is trying to say. It turns out that Shirley Bowmore has to be Oloroso. 27＞29＞＞31＞33

| Нос | 93 | From the moment the bottle is opened, even without needing to sniff closely, the aromas of guava, ripe papaya, and other tropical fruits reminiscent of Bowmore from the 1960s and 1970s are immediately apparent. A moment later, a rich, dark fruit palate emerges, reminiscent of ripe plums and prunes, with a strong Oloroso flavor. This is followed by raisins, a touch of orange peel oil, licorice, a distinct leather note, and a hint of smoky seaweed. The initial guava note is truly surprising, but as the wine progresses, the dark fruit aromas become more pronounced, a truly magical experience. Perhaps this is the joy and experience of opening a bottle. |
| Вкус | 92 | The wine is sweet, smooth, and slightly alcoholic, with a rich, deep sherry character, reminiscent of fresh prune jam. It offers a generous dose of premium tobacco and delicate cigars, followed by rich roasted beans and dark chocolate, along with hints of earth and peat. The finish is finished with liquorice, spices, and a touch of tannin. |
| Финиш | 92 | The finish is long, with notes of burnt wood and raisins, followed by a mouthful of juicy, tart plums, fine leather, pepper, and dark chocolate. |

Very classy Bowmore. The age is noticeable. An incredible red color. 91-100 – Whisky heaven, best stuff

| Нос | 93 | Earthy peat at first. Not overwhelming, but subtly noticeable. After a few minutes, the fruit comes more and more to the fore. Blood orange, which I often have with Bowmore. With marzipan. Very harmonious. Full aroma. Leather comes in. Then red fruit. |
| Вкус | 93 | Sweet red fruits. Strong. Tingles on the tongue. However, the alcohol is not noticeable. Bowmore peat comes through and combines with the fruits. |
| Финиш | 92 | Leather and dark. Long and very harmonious. |
Perfectly balanced smoke, tropical and dark fruit. Woudl score higher if the finish was longer

This is the best Bowmore I have had the pleasure of trying. It has melded the flavors so very well. It’s price is something to be discussed on the other hand…. Somewhat simple, but some very what delicious.

| Нос | 92 | Dark jammy figs, dates, raisins, clean Bowmore smoke, menthol, chicory, apricot |
| Вкус | 92 | The smoke and fruit have almost become one, it envelopes the mouth without a trace of heat. Here the raisin note almost turns to grape/plum, the perfect sweetness to balance the smoke. |
| Финиш | 90 | Fruits remain, no sign of drying or tannins from oak. It does last, but isn’t super long |
Beautiful harmony of Bowmore distillate and high quality sherry casks. This sherried Bowmore formula gave us the legendary Bowmores from the 60s to this masterpiece. But the price Suntory offers makes me wonder if they chose to make whisky for collectors not the drinkers. (94 pts because I don't consider price when rating)
No.1 in Timeless Series.

| Нос | 90 | The aroma has a slight alcohol note (possibly due to the low volume left), with hints of jujube, raisin, fig, and the characteristic peat smoke of Bowmore. |
| Вкус | 92 | The palate is rich and sweet, featuring flavors of balsamic vinegar, walnut, clove, prunes, and jujube. There's a light peat and smoky, tar-like note, along with a touch of cooked mango. |
| Финиш | 90 | The finish is woody, with spices, peat, hot charcoal, leather, pineapple, papaya, and black pepper. |
For me, Bowmore from a sherry cask is perfection. What could possibly be more amazing? A wonderfully complex, exciting and diverse flavor profile, top alcohol strength, and refined aromas of sherry wood and leather/tobacco. Plus, delicate notes of typical Bowmore smoke. Everything as it should be. A dream!

| Нос | 95 | Noble sherry aromas; dark berries; plums; raisins; dark cherries; alongside this, an intense and exciting leathery-woody-smoky aroma emerges, the likes of which I have rarely experienced; old leather; cigars in the humidor; fine oak; quartz-mineral smoke; light earthy notes; dark chocolate; all very complex and changeable – I can smell it forever |
| Вкус | 94 | Sweet and spicy; here too, a dark sherry flavor; dark berries; prunes; dark chocolate; tingling, bitter-spicy wood; some licorice; leather; fine cigar tobacco; bitter spices; quartz-mineral; beautiful, delicate smoke |
| Финиш | 95 | Sweet and tart; tingling, peppery and spicy; tart notes of dark chocolate contrast with sweet notes of dark (dried) fruits; prunes; raisins; tart and spicy fine wood; leather; fine cigar; quartz-mineral smoke |
Truly complex and shifting nose. Overripe tropicality meshes with gentlemen's library (dark wood paneling, old leather-bound books, cured tobacco), coffee beans and dark chocolate, beef broth, refined quartzy Bowmore smoke, Sarsparilla, Oloroso dried fruits (prune) Alcohol is a bit strong, some drops of water smoothen it in a good way. It's rich and complex, not quite as much as the nose, but there's smoke, roasty-chocolaty notes, very dark fruit, burnt brown sugar, a bit of ocean spray. Sweet and dark notes linger on. I should like this even better, considering the style, but that certain "je ne sai quoi" that turns superb into sublime evades me today.
Absolutely the best modern-day bowmore I have tried so far. I think it is better than most of old Morrison's Bowmores. It has more refined sweetness also with full-body aromas. I want to give a 99/100 but the retail price is quite high because of the current whisky market. Still, the whisky itself makes sense for the price of its potential.
Excellent Bowmore, very sherried. Only the finish is a bit harsh, but aeration of the bottle will probably help.

| Нос | 92 | Very nice nose, which starts on a woody and spicy frame. Pepper, clove, pepper. Then we move on to the fruit: dates, figs, currants, cooked mango and pineapple, and very ripe apricots. Green apple wrapped in caramel. Slight nut. Light milk chocolate and cocoa. Very well integrated alcohol. |
| Вкус | 93 | On the palate, it's intense, with balsamic vinegar, walnuts, cloves, prunes, dates. Slight smoke and ashy peat, light grison. A little cooked mango. Light tire, tar, and brushed leather. |
| Финиш | 92 | Woody finish, on spices, ashy peat, hot charcoal, leather, pineapple, papaya, black pepper. |
Glad to have met this bottle. Among Islay whiskies, Bowmore may have the highest ceiling of potential.

| Нос | 91 | Straw, blackcurrant, red grape, winey notes, nutmeg, raisin, grape jam, Christmas cake, toffee "Elegant and deep" Why does this nose remind me so much of wine? The name “Timeless” feels perfectly fitting. A gentle layer of Bowmore’s straw-like peat quietly settles underneath, while blackcurrant, red grape, and winey aromas rise gracefully yet powerfully above it. “Beautiful” truly is the right word here. It feels like the kind of whisky that belongs in a fine dining restaurant. Nutmeg-like spice supports the aroma with remarkable precision, while sherried notes of Christmas cake and toffee are beautifully integrated. Subtle hints of apple mango and floral tones also emerge in the background. |
| Вкус | 93 | Grape jam, syrup, caramel, straw, smoky notes, coal, raisin, blackberry, rose, mango, fig "An absurd weight class" This almost feels unfair. The sheer weight and density are on another level. The texture coats the palate like syrup, carrying the lingering depth of a beautifully matured sherry whisky. Calling this merely a “sherry bomb” feels insufficient — it exists on an entirely different tier. It begins with rich grape jam and evolves into an almost syrup-like concentration of sweetness. Peaty notes of straw, smoke, and coal aren’t overpowering, but they leave a very clear impression. Layered above the dense sherry core are notes of blackberry, rose, mango, and fig, giving the whisky even more individuality and complexity. |
| Финиш | 92 | Grape jam, charcoal, smoke, vanilla, oak, compote, dried fig, blueberry jam "Peaty, yet refined" The finish reveals the peat more clearly than the palate did. Charcoal, smoky tones, and iodine-like peat linger for a remarkably long time, while grape jam and compote coat the background with sweetness. Over this base, gentle vanilla and woody notes are lightly dusted across the palate before everything is wrapped once more in the dense richness of dried fig and blueberry jam. The finish is extraordinarily long. |

| Нос | 93 | OMG, what a rocket! A hint of overripe fruit, a little smoke, loads of dried fruit (raisins, dates, figs, apricots), sweet, spicy honey and fruity dark sherry, spices, baking spices, nuts, hint of leather. Very appealing. Appears elegant and harmonious. 93-94 |
| Вкус | 94 | warm, soft, fruity-spicy, sweet, a little leather, dried fruits, (can easily compete in taste and quality with a Glendronach Grandeur) dark honey and sherry, baking spices, spices, subtle wood notes, a little smoke, hint of salt. 93-94 |
| Финиш | 92 | slightly fruity and spicy, sweet, dried fruit, a little leather, spices, baking spices, wood notes, some smoke and salt. Long aftertaste, finally sweet again with some dried fruit and a little honey. Thanks Thorsten for the sample :) |
Full of fruits, especially berries, with some violet. More like a common modern Bowmore than I thought. Full bodied, floral, sticky berry juice, and some citrus. Peat is quite dominant and some yogurt at the end.
I found myself genuinely admiring this whisky with every sip. As it opened up over time, the performance became increasingly dramtic and expressive — truly impressive. FWP was present in a very subtle manner. Usually, FWP tends to bring an accompanying bitterness that can be slightly distracting, but here that bitterness was entirely absent, which made the experience all the more satisfying. This is, of course, personal preference, but as someone who deeply enjoys Bowmore’s sherried profile, I found this far more satisfying than the Bowmore Timeless 33yo or the Bowmore 35yo “Sea Dragon” that I’ve tried before — and even more enjoyable than Bowmore 25 Anthology 1. (I haven’t tried the Timeless 29yo yet, so I can’t comment on that.) To me, this bottle feels like a perfect blend of the strengths of Timeless 33yo and Anthology 25yo 1. While the price of this bottle is undeniably high, it delivers an overwhelming depth of flavor and aroma. Personally, I fully understand the high price and I also think it's well worth the high price.

This one's like luxuriating in an uber comfortable leather couch, smoking a great pipe laced with aniseed while in a fancy study full of old books. Notes of cola, hickory, leather couch, tobacco and tobacco smoke with a hint of aniseed, coffee beans, rich rich rich treacle, mint, wet oak, and late late late in the finish, sliced green apples and bubble gum make cameo appearances. This is like a "best of Bowmore". I wish this weren't so pricey as I want one... or a case... :(

This is exactly what a Sherry Bowmore should be like. Fruity, sweet, and creamy on the nose, but with a dirty, smoky finish. Here, the distillery's character wasn't drowned in any old barrels, but rather the best of both worlds was combined. Why not always this way?
