Bowmore 12 y.o. - Sherry

Amidst the wild beauty of Islay, the rough seas and the winds of the Hebrides, Bowmore has been handcrafted since 1779.

In the legendary "No. 1 Vault", the old stone vault on the edge of Loch Indaal, the magical character of Islay and centuries-old traditions come together to create a single malt whisky with complex balance, mild Islay smokiness, maritime minerality and an abundance of fresh stone fruit aromas.

This twelve-year-old Bowmore whisky matured for over a decade in carefully selected European oak casks that previously contained fine Oloroso sherry, as well as in American oak casks that previously held bourbon. A final finish in European Oloroso sherry casks completes the maturation process and gives it its unmistakable complexity.

The whisky impresses with a refined depth and elegance that reflect its long maturation.
