Bowmore 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750mL is a beautifully matured Islay single malt Scotch whisky aged for 18 years in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks. This extended aging refines Bowmore’s signature balance of gentle peat smoke and coastal character, adding deeper layers of dark fruit, oak, and subtle sweetness. It represents a more mature, elegant expression of the distillery’s classic style.

Complex and harmonious, it opens with aromas of dried fruit, soft smoke, and toffee, followed by notes of dark chocolate, ripe plum, orange peel, and polished oak. The long maturation softens the peat while enhancing richness and structure, leading to a long, smooth finish with lingering cocoa, gentle smoke, and warming spice. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a refined and well aged Islay whisky.
