Bowmore Laimrig 15 Year

This item is archived.

My Tasting Note: Nose: Sun-Rype Fruit Source bars, figs, raisins and other dark fruit notes; dark milk chocolate, a newly tarred roof in the distance with a neighbouring camp fire; with patience some classic grassy peat notes start to emerge along with salted fish and briny kelp drying on the beach; the nose has a lot of layers to it with a treacle sauce, Panda brand black liquorice and dense chocolate cake; Palate: sweet, nutty and chocolaty with salty smoke; brunt fruits and a mix of nutty Oloroso and sweet Pedro Ximenez sherry notes; teriyaki beef jerky with cloves, black pepper and sea salt; there is depth to the fruit notes with jujubes, braised strawberries and more Fruit Source; Finish: drying and yet moist with soft dark fruits, leather, tobacco and drying salty smoke.

This is the best value in the store for 2011/2012! A cask strength version of the 15 year old Darkest the whisky was originally made for the Swedish market. It is sublime and flying off the shelf!
