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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bowmore\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Islay, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 Years Old\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ex-bourbon casks \u0026amp; oloroso sherry casks, with Pedro Ximénez sherry cask finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e A sweet symphony of rich dark chocolate and cocoa beans, with zesty citrus and a rich, underlying peatiness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sensationally layered — orange peel, moist sultanas, aniseed spice, and cocoa beans weave together in perfect balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powerfully and expressively fruity, with immense depth and complexity that lingers long after the last sip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Bowmore Distillery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhisky lovers exploring the full Bowmore Sherry Oak range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThose who enjoy the meeting of sherry richness and Islay peat smoke\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA premium gift for fans of well-aged, complex single malt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePairing with dark chocolate, stewed fruits, or rich cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; Authenticity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold by Whiskys.co.uk is 100% authentic and sourced through verified, trusted channels.
