- Description
- Bowmore's entry-level expression from the 1990s, bottled at just 5 years old and 40% ABV by the distillery. Young Bowmore shows the distillery's signature peat and smoke balanced with subtle maritime notes and vanilla from ex-bourbon maturation. The texture is light and spirited, with a brisk finish that emphasises the spirit's youthful character. Best enjoyed as an accessible introduction to Islay's peated style.
