Description

The Bowmore 18 Years Islay Single Malt is a prestigious and deeply complex expression from Scotland's oldest Islay distillery, Bowmore, established in 1779. It is matured for eighteen years in a masterful combination of American oak ex-bourbon and European oak Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks, resulting in a rich, syrupy depth. This whisky perfectly balances Bowmore's characteristically gentle, floral smoke with age-driven fruitiness, making it a connoisseur's choice and often considered the 'sweet spot' of the Bowmore range. It was initially crafted for the travel retail market but has become a cornerstone of the distillery's core range.

Nose
Pungent and rich with creamy caramel toffee, ripe exotic fruits, soft woodsmoke, dark chocolate, aged oak, dried fruit, and gentle spice.
Palate
Velvety and luxurious mouthfeel with treacle, orange peel, a "salty-sweet" profile of roasted coffee, dates, bitter cocoa, dark chocolate, raisins, spicy oak, and a subtle smokiness.
Finish
Long, balanced, and remarkably smooth, leaving a lingering trail of sherry-soaked raisins, light peat, coastal air, warming spice, honeyed sweetness, oak tannins, and a subtle nuttiness.
