Bowmore 21 y.o. Sherry

The Bowmore 21 Years Old Sherry Oak Cask Islay Single Malt with 46.8% vol. in a 0.7 l bottle is an impressive bottling from one of the oldest and most renowned distilleries on Islay - the Bowmore Distillery. This whisky is an exquisite vintage bottling that has been matured for at least 21 years in a mixture of American oak casks and sherry casks. The use of sherry casks gives this whisky an exceptional depth and complexity that harmonizes perfectly with the distinctive, smoky character of Bowmore.

Bowmore is renowned for its mastery of peaty smoke which, when combined with sweet and fruity sherry notes, results in an intriguing blend of flavors. The maturation in sherry casks brings out intense aromas of dried fruit, caramel, chocolate and spices and rounds off the whisky with a pleasant sweetness. The 46.8% alcohol content by volume ensures a powerful yet harmonious presence on the palate, which can be enjoyed perfectly without the need for water or ice. (automated translation)
