- Description
- Bowmore's 2024 release of this 30-year-old single malt blends bourbon barrel and sherry hogshead maturation to balance the distillery's Islay peatiness with rich, dried fruit complexity. At 45.3% ABV, the spirit remains cask strength without excessive alcohol heat, allowing maritime smoke to weave through orchard and dried stone fruit notes. The palate shows impressive integration between Bowmore's characteristic peat and the sweetness imparted by sherry wood. A benchmark aged Islay whisky for those wanting smoke tempered by sophistication.
