TASTING NOTES - BOWMORE ASTON MARTIN 10YO DARK & INTENSE

Nose

Many different nuances are interleaved in a nice texture: bacon, leather, oranges, minor hints of tropical fruit with the smoke to keep everything together. The sherried notes are lively yet fresh. Good balance. It seems older than 10 years.

Palate

For a 40% ABV product tastes are rather intense and well defined; it features chocolate, tobacco and leather on raisins, with a minor salty touch. Really gentle smoke. Some reviewers have described it as "dark maple", which I find it a great description.

Finish

Rather short, slightly salty smoke and a gentle fruity hint. Maybe the least performing of the phases.

Bowmore Aston Martin 10yo "Dark & Intense", despite a not very extended aging, shows signs of products of much longer maturation. It is a very well crafted sherried product which, despite the basic 40% ABV, fills nose and mouth with elements such as raisins, hints of tropical fruit and light peat, which are trademarks of the distillery. Palate is also nice put together, with several different quality sensations. Better than the standard 10yo.
