Description

Bowmore 15yr Old 750ml Islay Single Malt
94 Points – Wine Enthusiast

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 give Bowmore 15 Year Old the rich, deep colour and robust warming finish. Rich raisins and gentle smoke lead the way to a delicious chocolaty centre.

“This Islay single malt was finished in Sherry casks, delivering a ruddy hue and brisk, smoky scent with a hint of sea air salinity. Peat and iodine lead the palate, evolving into mouthwatering olive brine, kalamata olive and unsweetened chocolate, finishing long and dry with hints of ash, clove and black pepper. A splash of water integrates the cocoa and peat tones.”
