BOWMORE 15 YEARS SINGLE MALT WHISKY

Bowmore 15 Years Single Malt Whisky

• Region: Islay - Bowmore, one of Islay’s oldest distilleries, is renowned for producing whiskies that perfectly balance smoky peat and coastal influences. The Bowmore 15 Years offers a refined example of this classic Islay style, with a slightly more restrained peat character, allowing for a greater focus on the depth of flavor.

• Maturation: This expression is matured for 15 years in a combination of ex-bourbon casks and Oloroso sherry casks, which imparts both the smokiness expected from an Islay whisky and the rich sweetness of dried fruits, spices, and nuts.

• Color: Bowmore 15 Years showcases a deep amber color, a result of its interaction with the oak casks during the maturation process, offering a visual preview of its rich, complex profile.

• Aroma: On the nose, Bowmore 15 Years offers an inviting blend of smoke and sweet fruitiness. Notes of dried fruits, such as sultanas and figs, combine with a subtle layer of peat smoke. The sherry influence is evident, adding rich hints of dark chocolate, toffee, and a gentle spice, balanced by a faint brininess, reminiscent of its coastal heritage.

• Palate: The palate is full and complex, with peat smoke intertwined with flavors of dark chocolate, vanilla, and dried fruits. The sherry cask influence comes through with hints of figs, raisins, and a touch of spice, creating a balanced and satisfying mouthfeel. The peat remains present but is more subdued, allowing the sweetness and richness of the whisky to shine through.

• Finish: The finish is long and warming, with lingering peat smoke, oak, and a soft sweetness. A subtle saltiness adds to the depth, evoking the maritime influence of the Islay coast.

• Texture: Bowmore 15 Years offers a smooth and creamy texture, enhancing the richness of the whisky’s flavors and providing a luxurious mouthfeel that complements its depth and complexity.

The Bowmore 15 Years Single Malt Whisky is a remarkable expression that beautifully showcases the balance of smoky peat and rich sherry influence, creating a whisky that is both sophisticated and approachable for those new to Islay malts or seasoned enthusiasts alike.
