- Description
- Bowmore's classic Islay peat character meets the richness of first-fill oloroso casks in this 18-year-old festival release. Deep amber colour introduces layers of dark fruit, honey, and gentle smoke that coat the palate with substantial body and silky texture. The finish balances peat-driven dryness with sherry's lingering sweetness. Drink this when you want a fully mature, sherried Islay—or share it as the special occasion bottle it was intended to be.
