- Description
- Bowmore's 21-year-old distillery bottling showcases the classic character of Islay's most traditional producer, which still operates its own malting floor for a significant portion of its barley. Nutty and textured on the palate, with restrained peat smoke and the briny, mineral salinity that defines Bowmore's house style. The balance of sweetness and maritime character makes this a refined introduction to Islay whisky.
