While my experience with the official 12 year was interesting but ultimately not energizing the darkest is another story.

The 12 years old is the whisky that is responsible for the start of my journey in the spirit world.
It s the final three years spent in oloroso sherry casks that gives bowmore 15 year old the rich deep colour and robust warming finish.
Depending on the release this whisky can be labeled as darkest.
I tasted the 18 years old which i found to be too similar to the 12 to justify the price tag.
In this video i study the bowmore 15 year old darkest single malt scotch whisky islay.
Bowmore 15 year old darkest is one of the most beautifully balanced bowmores.
Matured first in bourbon barrels then oloroso casks there s no finer example of a sherry cask finish than our 15 year old.
Named for the color instilled by a combination of bourbon and sherry aging followed by three years only in oloroso sherry casks the 15 year old malt is to me indistinguishable from its 12 year old sibling.
The first islay malt still carefully smoked in a peat fired kiln bowmore is widely acknowledged to be among the finest most distinctly balance single malts in the world.
It is pretty good.
