Bowmore 18 Years Single Malt Scotch

Eighteen years of maturation gives a restrained, settled smoke alongside deep dried fruit and oak spice, finishing long — the house describes it as "bold and unexpectedly powerful, yet with a sweet clarity." Bowmore is Islay's oldest distillery, founded in 1779. Its No.1 Vaults maturation warehouse sits below sea level, right on the shore of Loch Indaal, where sea air seeps into the casks year-round — giving Bowmore a softer, rounder smoke than Islay's southern distilleries, with sea salt and honeyed sweetness.
