Bowmore 18 Year Old ‘Sherry Oak’

Details

Bowmore 18 Year Old ‘Sherry Oak’ displays a deep amber hue with golden highlights. On the nose, it reveals inviting aromas of dark chocolate, dried figs, roasted coffee, and signature Islay smoke, complemented by nuances of orange peel and rich spices. The palate is full-bodied and complex, offering layers of sweet sherry-soaked raisins, treacle toffee, and cinnamon, balanced beautifully with a gentle maritime salinity and lingering peat smoke. The mouthfeel is velvety and refined, culminating in a long, warming finish with hints of spiced oak and dried fruit. This expression, matured in Oloroso sherry casks, delivers both richness and harmony, making it a standout among aged Islay single malts.
