Bowmore 15 Year Sherry Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL is a rich Islay single malt Scotch whisky matured in bourbon casks and finished in carefully selected sherry seasoned oak casks, enhancing depth and complexity. Aged for 15 years, this expression balances Bowmore’s signature coastal peat smoke with layers of dark fruit sweetness and warming spice. The 700mL format reflects its international release presentation while delivering the same bold character.

Full bodied and indulgent, it opens with aromas of raisins, dark chocolate, and soft smoke, followed by notes of dried fig, caramel, orange zest, and toasted oak. The sherry oak maturation deepens richness while preserving maritime elegance, leading to a long, smoky sweet finish with lingering cocoa and gentle spice. It is ideal for those who appreciate a sherry influenced Islay with refined balance.
