Bowmore Sherry Oak Collection Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 18 Year Old

Colour

Dark amber with mahogany tones and a glint of copper.

Nose

Opulent and poised, this Bowmore 18 reveals sun-dried fruits—prune, fig, raisin—lifted by citrus zest and a wisp of sea-salt. Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry weave cocoa, toffee, and almond into the bouquet, while a gentle peat smoke threads through for unmistakable Islay character. Subtle spice and polished oak finish the aroma with refined, lingering elegance.

Palate

Silky and poised, the palate opens with vanilla and toasted oak, then unfolds dark fruit—fig, raisin, and plum—from the Oloroso and PX sherry casks. A gentle peat backbone threads through cocoa, toffee, and a hint of orange zest. The finish is long and refined, merging sherry sweetness with nutty warmth and a subtle, lingering Islay smoke.

Finish

Long, elegant finish with dark fruit and fig from the Pedro Ximénez, subtle Bowmore peat weaving through the sweetness. Rich sherry notes coat the palate—toffee, cocoa and salted caramel—ending in a warm, maritime finish that lingers with poise and refinement.
