Though Bowmore whisky will always be special to me, the Darkest 15 will always be the whisky that takes me back to Islay, Jura, and Scarba Islands. We enjoyed this whisky throughout the day, I’m talkin morning, noon, and night! This is the perfect late night whisky around the camp fire or modern fire pit. The trademark subtle peat of Bowmore dances with the Sherry Cask wood that it was finished in creating a unique finish. I’m actually writing this out on the porch on my iPhone and listening to the nighttime din of insects. It’s simply perfect. I hope you can find this whisky in your market! If you love a sherry finish and peat of Islay, this is your whisky. Head over to www.bowmore.com for the tasting notes because its too dark out here for me to read them off the bottle.
Cheers Ken, Colin, Lucas, Joe, and Ali!

We just had this on Tuesday in NYC! While it was no trip to Islay (you lucky bastard!), we did get to have lunch at Keen’s with The Coopered Tot and The Whisky Woman (Miss Brenne herself!). Definitely a lovely dram! We shared it amongst the four of us along with several other whiskies (8+). This was pre-gaming before an event that night. Stay tuned for details that will be up on the blog next week.
So when is the Islay recap???
