Using superior first-fill bourbon casks and hogsheads the 15 Year Old is deep and complex, yet surprisingly refreshing and uplifting for an aged whisky. Its maturation process builds up layers of flavour; from top notes of fresh citrus and salty-sweet vanilla to deep, earthy base layers of nut-infused smoke. Islay whiskies are in great demand and Bowmore is a true Islay icon, the oldest of the island’s distilleries.
