Bowmore Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 9 Year Old

Colour

Golden amber with warm honey tones and subtle coppery glints, a sunlit, inviting hue.

Nose

Vanilla and toasted oak lead to ripe orchard fruits—fig and apricot—while a gentle maritime smoke threads through. Sherry-cask warmth adds a subtle sweetness, with a whisper of saline coastal air and mineral notes that lend a refined, inviting bouquet.

Palate

Warm and balanced on the palate, creamy vanilla and soft toffee from the bourbon casks mingle with stewed pear and dried orchard fruits from the sherry butts, while a gentle peat smoke lingers. Subtle coastal brine lifts the sweetness, leaving a rounded finish of oak, fruit and smoke.

Finish

Silky, enduring finish of warm vanilla and toasted oak, with a kiss of sherry sweetness and Bowmore’s gentle Islay smoke. The coastal undertow lingers, mingling dried fruit with a subtle salt spray as the warmth slowly fades.
