- Description
- Bowmore's no-age-statement sherry-finished expression, matured in ex-bourbon and finished in sherry casks, bottled at 43% ABV. Sherry influence rounds out the distillery's inherent peat and brine with dark fruit, chocolate, and warming spice, creating a more accessible profile than pure Bowmore. The texture is rich and coating, with the finish lingering warmly. A gateway to the legendary Black Bowmore style for contemporary drinkers.
