Bowmore Distillery has stood on the shores of Loch Indaal, a sea loch that opens out into the Atlantic Ocean, since 1779.
The distillery's proximity to the sea plays a vital role in shaping the final character of the spirit, which breathes in the salty sea air all the while it's maturing.
Matured first in bourbon barrels then Oloroso casks, there’s no finer example of a sherry cask finish than this 15 Year Old!
It’s the final three years spent in Oloroso sherry casks that gives Bowmore 15 Year Old the rich, deep colour and robust warming finish.
Nose: Dark chocolate and raisin aromas compliment the classic Bowmore smokiness.
Palate: Wonderful cedar wood and rich treacle toffee flavours.
Finish: Spicy, toffee, sherry and barley.
