This 1990 Bowmore spent 30 years in a first-fill oloroso sherry cask (#3974) before bottling at 49.2% ABV by East Asia Whisky Co for the Japanese market. Rich sherry influence dominates the nose and palate—tinned peaches, burnt coconut, and dates—layered beneath burnt oak and marmalade, with Islay's characteristic smoke appearing as a supporting note.
