- Description
- Drawn from first-fill bourbon barrels distilled in 1999, this sixth Elements of Islay release exemplifies modern Bowmore at near-cask strength. Fresh citrus and orchard notes emerge first, followed by layered peat smoke and a distinct maritime character—salt spray and seaweed. The texture is robust and gripping, with a long, smoky finish. Perfect for Islay enthusiasts who value clarity and balance.
