- Description
- Bowmore's 1990 vintage was matured in oloroso sherry casks and bottled at cask strength after 16 years, allowing rich dried fruit and sherry influence to meet the distillery's signature peated, maritime character. This Islay single malt showcases how sherry wood can amplify rather than obscure peat.
