- Description
- Aged for 15 years with a final three-year finish in oloroso sherry casks, this Bowmore sits at the sweet spot between maturity and restraint. The nose balances orchard fruit and floral notes with the distillery's signature peat, while the palate reveals tropical fruit, dried spice, and gentle smoke with a silky mouthfeel. The sherry cask influence adds layers of warmth without overwhelming the underlying Islay character. Ideal for drinkers seeking a refined, fruit-forward expression that respects the distillery's maritime heritage.
