- Description
- Bowmore's 13-year-old expression from 1995, selected by the distillery's Maltmen who maintain Islay's last floor malting, combines house peat character with thoughtful cask selection and extended aging. The Maltmen's involvement signals careful stewardship of Bowmore's traditional peated style—expect balanced smoke, coastal salinity, and vanilla sweetness from the cask. This represents Islay peat as an elegant backdrop rather than a dominant force, perfect for those seeking accessible, nuanced Islay character.
