Bowmore 15 Year Old, 700ml
Matured first in Bourbon barrels then Oloroso casks, there's no finer example of a sherry cask finish than this 15 Year Old. It's the final three years spent in Oloroso sherry casks that gives Bowmore 15 Year Old the rich, deep colour and robust warming finish.
Nose: Dark chocolate and raisin aromas compliment the classic smokiness.
Palate: Wonderful cedar wood and rich treacle toffee flavours
Finish: Spicy, toffee, sherry and barley
Bowmore is the first licensed Islay distillery.
It has stood on the shores of Lochindaal, a sea loch opening out into the wild Atlantic Ocean, since 1779.
To this day, the distillery still operates in traditional ways, honouring the origin whisky-making techniques. Bowmore is still hand crafted today.
