- Description
- Bowmore's 18-year-old from 2001, independently bottled by The Character of Islay Whisky Company, captures the essence of Islay's maritime character at cask strength. The spirit carries the distillery's signature peat and brine alongside orchard fruit and oak influence from two decades of maturation. This is a classic Islay expression for those seeking smoke and salt without dilution.
