- Description
- Bowmore's 25-year-old expression showcases the distillery's mastery of Islay peat and time. Rich fruit character—dried apricots and figs—intertwines with smoke and maritime salt, built on a foundation of vanilla from ex-bourbon maturation. The palate is full-bodied and warming, with smoke lingering into a long finish. A mature, balanced Islay for those seeking depth beyond youth.
