Installed in the finest hand-selected oak casks and allowed to mature at its own pace, this is one of the most remarkable and perfectly balanced single malt Scotch whiskies of its kind. One of our rarest whiskies, bottles of Bowmore 18 Year Old may be limited, but its pleasure is endless.
This 17-year-old single malt is truly unusual. For the first time, it has been aged exclusively in American oak Hogshead casks. This gives it a spring-like, fruity, honeyed and sweet character.
Nose: Peaty smoke, underlined by notes of orange peel, tangy fruit and a hint of ember. A hint of vanilla sweetness and some freshly sawn oak spices.
Mouth: Peaty with a stronger toasted note, some pepper, light balsamic acidity, sweet spices. Cedar and leather with nice complexity thanks to the sherry casks.
Finish: Harmonious. The sherry influence is clearly present, as are the sweet spices.
Nose: Creamy caramel, with aromas of ripe fruit and smoke.
Mouth: Incredibly complex, with lovely soft fruit and chocolate balanced with light smoke.
