Bowmore Port Cask Matured Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 21 Year Old · 1988 Vintage

Colour

Rich, dark amber with mahogany-red hues and a coppery glow.

Nose

Port-driven sweetness blends with Bowmore’s maritime peat: blackberry, plum and raisin join fig and toffee, while dark chocolate and vanilla weave through lacquered oak. A saline kiss of sea air and a faint spice nuance lift the bouquet, delivering a lush, cask-strength aroma with confident, lingering warmth.

Palate

Silky and deeply fruity on the palate, Port-cask maturation floods the mouth with fig, date and cherry, threaded with raspberries and caramel. Rich dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and spice mingle with Bowmore’s signature peat and sea-salt smoke. Full-bodied, warming, and long, with a wine-dark, lingering finish.

Finish

An opulent, lingering finish where Port elegance threads through Bowmore’s smoke. Dark cherry and fig sweetness coats the tongue, weaving with subtle peat and cocoa. Warming spice and a whisper of sea salt persist, leaving a velvety, long-lasting ember that slowly fades into the coast.
