Bowmore 15 Year Old Darkest Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750mL is a rich Islay single malt Scotch whisky matured in bourbon casks and finished in Oloroso sherry casks, creating a bold interplay of peat smoke and dark fruit sweetness. Aged for 15 years, this expression deepens Bowmore’s signature coastal style with added layers of chocolate, raisin, and warming spice.

Full bodied and expressive, it opens with aromas of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and soft peat smoke, followed by notes of toffee, sherry soaked raisins, orange zest, and subtle oak. The sherry finish enhances richness without overpowering the maritime character, leading to a long, smoky sweet finish with lingering cocoa and gentle spice. It is an excellent choice for those who enjoy a more decadent, sherry influenced Islay whisky.
