Bowmore Feis Ile 2023 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 18 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany depth and a coppery glow.

Nose

Smoke and sea breeze mingle with a lush sherry heartbeat as Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez infuse the whisky with dark fruit opulence—raisin, fig and date swirl with hints of orange zest, cocoa, and toffee. Subtle vanilla and toasted almond rise from richly lacquered oak, while a whisper of salted caramel and spice lingers, yielding a poised, mature peat that promises depth.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied and oily, this Bowmore 18 delivers sherry-saturated depth with peat nuance. Prune, fig and raisin entwine with dark chocolate, toffee and warm spice, while vanilla and oak add breadth. A subtle maritime smoke lingers as the palate coats. The finish is long and warming, with cocoa-dried-fruit sweetness and persistent smoke.

Finish

Long, opulent finish where gentle peat lingers beside rich sherry. Dark fig and cocoa mingle with toasted oak, brushed by a maritime salt and ash note, fading to warm spice.
