Bowmore 15 Year Old is a prime example of a sherry cask finish, matured first in bourbon barrels and then for three years in Oloroso sherry casks. This process imparts a rich burnt sienna color and a robust, warming finish. The nose offers dark chocolate and raisin aromas, complemented by the signature Bowmore smokiness. On the palate, expect flavors of cedar wood and rich treacle toffee, with a finish of spicy toffee, sherry, and barley. This whisky has been awarded Gold at the 2018 International Wine & Spirit Competition and Double Gold at the 2018 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

This remarkable whisky is aged in oak casks meticulously chosen by hand. It retains a complex and balanced aromatic profile in which candied fruits, dark chocolate, spices and peat smoke can be perceived. It offers an exceptional length that prolongs the pleasure.

Deep sherry aromas, notes of plum skin, black currant, allspice, star anise, damp peat smoke, cocoa powder, and tanned leather: It’s outrageously good. A complex palate with a creamy mouthfeel of plum, stewed fruits, baked citrus, gentle spices, and ground hazelnut, becoming mellow and nutty with smoke, spice, and fruit through the finish.

Bowmore Aston Martin Masters’ Selection 22 year old is a celebration of Bowmore’s Master Whisky Blender and Aston Martin’s Chief Creative Officer coming together, uniting two distinct worlds in a powerful, yet inspiring way. For these two masters the key is constancy. This is what ultimately unites them and drives them as the time-honoured guardians of maintaining a perpetual quest for the most immersive and joyful moments.

Peat bonfire wafts above sea salt, brine, dried seaweed, salty dock, seashells, and all things maritime. But the smoke and peat are subtle—the seashore notes grab you most. They remain so on the palate, integrating beautifully with chocolate cake sweetness. You’re on the isle of Islay with this one, all right. Light and subtle once more on the finish, with fruit notes emerging and the peat fading long down the road.

This 2021 bottling of Bowmore was distilled in 1989 and matured for 30 years in a combination of sherry hogsheads and bourbon barrels. Aged in the legendary Bowmore No. 1 Vaults, this edition is selected from just two casks each year.

The slightly fruity overall note is supported by delicate smoke. Spring-like lightness with citrus and subtle sweetness on the palate is complemented by fine wood tones.

The Bowmore Distillery, established in 1779 and located on Islay is so close to the sea, the Atlantic waves smash against the iconic sea-facing wall. This salt spray of this No. 1 Vaults release is a key tasting note. The aromas will give you bright orange zest and marmalade drizzled with the sea and the palate will give you salted honeycomb, iodine soaked blood orange, ocean spiced blackberry and kumquat. Ageing in ex-bourbon casks adds greater depth to this spirit.
