The Original Islay. Bowmore is advocating for nature.A marriage of Bowmore from hand-selected American oak ex-bourbon casks and European oak oloroso sherry casks The original Islay Single Malt, crafted with intent since 1779 to create an exceptionally expressive whisky. Bowmore 15 year old reveals a mature, bright and sweet expression of our signature style. Light vanilla and candied orange aromas layer with a whiff of smoke. This unmistakable character is thanks to a marriage of whiskies matured for 15 years in American oak ex-bourbon barrels and European oak oloroso sherry butts and puncheons. Care is taken to add distinct layers of flavour at every stage: every action is judged and considered, from the hand-turned malt, dried in peat-fired kilns, to our longer fermentation times and hand-selected casks. Colour Cool golden glow Aroma Sweet vanilla and toasted almonds, developing into stewed apple and baked pastry, notes of cinnamon, sultanas, and dark chocolate. Palate Candied orange, toasted walnuts, blackberry jam and a salty breeze. Finish A lingering, satisfying taste of fresh woody smoke from a smoldering fire. Bright and complex, Bowmore 15-Year-Old captivates. Immersed in a rich array flavours Sweet vanilla and toasted almonds mingle with stewed apple and baked pasties. Spicy cinnamon. Juicy sultanas and dark chocolate. Vivid candied orange. Mingling with signature smoke, each cask gently enhances the character with another layer of subtle flavour.
