Like a hot coal in the moth (SMWS)

Single cask Sherry 17-year Bowmore..... can’t wait to try it...... Nosing: sea breeze, briny, orange peel, dark chocolate, toffee, caramel, American ginseng, herbal notes, dark fruit, maple syrup, Earl grey/Darjeeling tea, or maybe Oolong? Honey, dark honey. Some nutty notes. Tasting: sweet, dark fruit/berries, tea, of course the sherry note- dark chocolate and caramel. Maybe fruit stew? Finishing: oh my gosh!That’s a new sensation to me! A long lingering ginseng note! The peat smoke is sort of gone. I don’t know if this is a good thing or not for Bowmore? But this is a good bottle without a doubt.

Sweet with a little peat smoke. Nosing: chocolate, maple syrup, liquorice, ginseng, raisin, dried fruit, maybe a tiny bit of cinnamon? Almond. I am also getting a pear note. Shellfish, sea breeze. Also a bit of peat smoke. You got everything inside this bottle, sweetness, spiciness, savoury notes, peat smoke. Tasting: pear, chocolate, liquorice. Finishing: liquorice and ginseng finishing. Warm and long.
