Bowmore 18 Year Old Sherry Oak | 43% | 70cl | Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Bowmore 18 Year Old Sherry Oak | 43% | 70cl | Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Rich, expressive, and deeply complex. The Bowmore 18 Year Old Sherry Oak sits at the heart of the acclaimed Sherry Oak series — a beautifully composed Islay single malt that balances bright citrus notes with the soft, signature peat of the distillery. Matured in carefully selected ex-bourbon and oloroso sherry casks, then finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry wood, the result is a whisky of layered depth and composure: varied fruit tones, chocolate richness, and the unmistakable coastal character that defines Bowmore. Bottled at 43% ABV, this is the series' most elegantly balanced expression.

About Bowmore Distillery

Founded in 1779, Bowmore is one of Islay's oldest and most celebrated distilleries, nestled on the shores of Loch Indaal. The distillery is famous for its unique microclimate — its dunnage warehouses sit partly below sea level, allowing the cool, salty Atlantic air to influence every cask as it matures. This maritime character, combined with Bowmore's signature gentle peat, is the foundation upon which all Sherry Oak expressions are built. The 18 Year Old sits between the vibrant 15 and the award-winning 21, offering its own distinct point of excellence in the series.

• Whisky lovers exploring the full Bowmore Sherry Oak range
