Bowmore Claret Bordeaux Wine Casked Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Colour

Deep, burnished copper-amber with a subtle ruby sheen and mahogany undertones.

Nose

Peat smoke threads through a Bordeaux-red fruit core—blackberry, plum and cassis—mingling with vanilla and toasted oak. Sea-salt and iodine lift the aroma, while claret-driven notes and a whisper of leather promise depth as the finish lingers.

Palate

Powerful and refined, the palate fuses Bowmore’s peat with Bordeaux wine influence: blackberry, plum and fig weave with cocoa and spice, while silky tannins frame a smoky, sea-salted finish. The wine cask lends a plush, claret-like density that lingers with warm, chocolatey richness and a hint of tobacco.

Finish

An extended finish of Bordeaux-tinged fruit and velvet tannins, where black cherry, plum and cassis linger, tempered by Bowmore’s peat and sea-salt smoke, and carried to a long, cocoa-spiced, oak-laced finale.
