- Description
- The second Speciality Drinks Elements of Islay release from Bowmore, this cask-strength dram balances the distillery's core identity with unexpected brightness. Orchard fruit—particularly orange—cuts through the smoke, while spice from the spirit itself adds texture and warmth. The finish is medium-length and peppery. Suits those who want Islay's character without overwhelming peat dominance.
