Product details
Bowmore 12-Year-Old Sherry Oak Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky beautifully reflects the heritage and elemental character of Islay’s oldest licensed distillery, founded in 1779. Crafted at the iconic Bowmore Distillery on the shores of Loch Indaal, this expression matures for 12 years in a combination of American oak bourbon barrels and European Oloroso sherry casks. The result is a harmony of gentle coastal peat smoke and opulent sherry-aged sweetness. Bowmore’s signature floor-malting process and half-peated style create a complex whisky that’s approachable yet layered, allowing the influence of time, tradition, and terroir to shine through every drop.
The nose opens with decadent vanilla caramel, unfolding into an intricate bouquet of red berries, marzipan, and subtle dried fruit. On the palate, a carnival of ripe pears, lemon juice, cinnamon, toasted almonds, and peaches in syrup plays against a gradually rising wave of Islay smoke. The finish lingers with sweet spice, delivering a pleasingly long, warming conclusion that echoes the richness of its sherry cask heritage. This whisky pairs beautifully with smoked salmon, Manchego, pork belly with fruit glaze, or dark chocolate tart—each enhancing the spirit’s deep sweetness, refined peat, and elegant spice.
