Product details
Bowmore 15 Year Old Sherry Cask is a testament to the Islay distillery’s mastery of time and wood. Crafted with patience and precision, this single malt matures for at least 15 years in a combination of European Oak Oloroso sherry casks and American Oak ex-bourbon barrels, before concluding its development in European Oak Oloroso sherry seasoned casks. This meticulous cask regimen imparts remarkable depth and complexity, harmonizing Bowmore’s signature coastal character with indulgent sweetness and subtle spice. The whisky’s deep, enigmatic hue hints at the richness within—a reflection of both the spirit’s heritage and the transformative influence of sherry wood.
On the nose, Bowmore 15 unfolds with moist Corinth raisins and sweet dates layered over cinnamon and dark chocolate, all delicately wrapped in a whisper of soft smoke. The palate offers a compelling tapestry of cedarwood and treacle toffee, mingled with boiled sweet confectionery, clove spice, and liquorice root. The finish lingers intriguingly rich and wooded, revealing contented sweet spices that slowly fade into warmth. This 15 Year Old is a beautifully eclectic dram, perfect as a contemplative sipper or paired with robust dishes—think aged Manchego, dark chocolate desserts, or smoked game—to mirror its balance of sweetness and complexity.
