- Description
- Bowmore's 21-year-old matured entirely in French oak from Château Lagrange in Bordeaux, adding wine-forward character to Islay's coastal peat and brine. The marriage of Bowmore's smoky backbone with Bordeaux oak's orchard fruit and spice creates a distinctive balance rarely seen in heavily peated whiskies.
