Bowmore 10YO Inspired by the Devil’s Casks Series

Quick review of Bowmore 10 year old single malt whisky Inspired by the Devil’s Casks Series. I had a quick sample of this in a whisky tasting at my friend’s cabin. So bare with me on these tasting notes, those were assembled quite fast.

This whisky is a mixture of classic Islay coastal notes in a marriage between Oloroso sherry butts and red wine barriques. Bottled for travel retail at 46% alcohol by volume level.
