Bowmore
Bowmore 12 Year is aged in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks and offers honey, citrus and soft smoke, a good first Islay malt. The 15 Year Darkest Sherry is finished in sherry casks for dark fruit, chocolate and a richer body. The 18 Year is deeper and more elegant, with dried fruit and a lighter touch of smoke. Bowmore still uses traditional floor malting, and its whisky matures in the historic No. 1 Vaults by the sea.
For collectors we also carry rare releases such as the 25 Year, 30 Year No. 1 Vault, the 1989 23 Year Port Cask and the 21 Year Aston Martin edition when available.

Which Bowmore expression is good for beginners?
Bowmore 12 Year offers an approachable introduction to Islay whisky with honey sweetness and gentle peat smoke.
Is Bowmore heavily peated?
Bowmore is medium-peated. It is smokier than most Highland or Speyside malts but gentler than Laphroaig or Ardbeg.
How should I serve Bowmore whisky?
Bowmore is best neat or with a few drops of water to open up the flavors, served at room temperature in a whisky glass.
