- Description
- Distilled in 1989 and aged for three decades in sherry hogsheads and bourbon barrels, this 1989 Bowmore represents the distillery at full maturity. The nose opens with ripe stone fruit—peaches and pineapple—alongside heather honey and vanilla, while soft peat smoke and eucalyptus emerge on the palate. The texture is rich and warming, with the interplay of sherry sweetness and Islay character sustained through a long finish. A benchmark aged Islay for those seeking depth without excessive smoke.
