- Description
- Bowmore's 1991 distillate was aged for 16 years exclusively in Port pipes, creating a rare cask-strength expression bottled at 53.1% ABV. Port maturation imparts deep fruit richness and wine-forward complexity to Islay's characteristically peaty profile. The texture is full and warming, with layers of dark berries, smoke, and salted caramel. This is a collector's piece for those seeking the intersection of maritime peat and Portuguese fortified wine influence.
