Bowmore 15 Year Old Islay Single Malt Whisky is a refined and richly balanced Scotch that beautifully showcases the character of Islay’s oldest distillery. Matured for 15 years in a combination of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, this single malt brings together peated coastal complexity with indulgent notes of dried fruit and warming spice.
Situated in the heart of Islay, Bowmore Distillery has been producing whisky since 1779. The 15 Year Old expression is known for its depth, maturity and smooth integration of smoke and sherry influence - a firm favourite for those who enjoy bold, full-flavoured whisky with elegant structure.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Deep amber with rich copper highlights, reflecting its time in sherry-seasoned casks.
Nose
Layered and inviting. Aromas of dark raisins, dried figs and treacle toffee emerge first, followed by subtle peat smoke, toasted oak and a hint of orange peel.
Palate
Full-bodied and smooth. Rich flavours of dark chocolate, dates and spiced fruitcake blend seamlessly with maritime smoke and a touch of salted caramel. The texture is velvety, with excellent balance between sweetness and Islay peat.
Finish
Long, warming and complex, with lingering notes of sweet sherry, gentle smoke and roasted coffee beans.
Bowmore 15 Year Old Islay Single Malt is a masterful example of balance and character. Its fusion of coastal smokiness and sherry cask richness makes it an excellent choice for sipping neat, pairing with dark chocolate, or gifting to any lover of classic Islay whisky.
