Product details
Bowmore 15 Year Old Sherry Oak Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a masterclass in balance and maturation, showcasing the rich character of Islay with refined elegance. Aged for at least 15 years, this whisky begins its journey in a combination of European Oak Oloroso sherry casks and American Oak ex-bourbon casks before being finished exclusively in European Oak Oloroso sherry seasoned casks. This careful orchestration of wood imparts both depth and complexity, creating a whisky that is simultaneously sweet, spiced, and gently smoky. Bowmore’s signature coastal character remains at the core, yet it is beautifully tempered by the indulgent richness of sherry-seasoned oak, making this expression both intriguing and inviting.
On the nose, Bowmore 15 Year Old reveals lush aromas of cocoa beans, moist Corinth raisins, and sweet dates wrapped in soft tendrils of smoke, with hints of cinnamon and dark chocolate. The palate follows with vibrant layers of cedarwood, treacle toffee, clove spice, and bold liquorice root, underscored by notes of boiled sweets and a touch of old-world charm. The finish is long, rich, and wooded—lingering with sweet spice and an enduring warmth. Best savored neat to appreciate its layered profile, this expression also pairs well with spiced fruitcake, dark chocolate desserts, or hard cheeses, making it a perfect companion to contemplative evenings and special moments.
