- Description
- Bowmore's 30-year-old 2022 release combines ex-bourbon and ex-sherry cask maturation to create a mature Islay expression with surprising vibrancy. The palate unfolds with ripe stone fruits—apricots and caramelised mango—alongside butterscotch and warming peat smoke that builds through the mid-palate. The texture is rich and full-bodied, with a finish that balances honey sweetness against coastal smoke. A benchmark aged Islay for those seeking depth without losing the distillery's character.
