- Description
- Bowmore's 25-year-old combines American bourbon and Spanish sherry casks, melding the distillery's coastal, smoky character with the complexity of extended maturation. The sherry influence adds dark fruit, spice, and subtle sweetness, while Bowmore's signature smoke remains present but refined by age. The extended maturation creates silky texture and layered depth, with a long finish balancing smoke, oak, and dried fruit. A benchmark aged Islay for patient collectors.
