From first fill of bourbon casks creating a creamy, sweet and smoky single malt whisky is Bowmore No. 1.

The heart of the Bowmore range, the 12 year old exhibits some beautiful coastal notes with a gentle peat, it is the balance that the floral element presents that makes this a great entry bottling for Bowmore.

Located in Islays capital of the same name, Bowmore uses a combination of dedicated craftsmen, pure water, smoked peat and traditional manufacturing techniques to ensure that their whisky tastes the same as it did when it was first distilled in 1779. The 12 Year Old Single Malt has a nose of lifted lemon and honey that are bound together with the distinctive Bowmore smokiness. On the palate, the whisky is warm and delicious with subtle dark chocolate and peat smoke.

Matured first in bourbon barrels then Oloroso casks, there's no finer example of a sherry cask finish than Bowmore's 15 Year Old. It's the final three years spent in Oloroso sherry casks that gives Bowmore 15 Year Old the rich, deep colour and robust warming finish. Bowmore is the malt from the world’s oldest Scotch maturation warehouse, the legendary No.1 Vaults, established in 1779. The first Islay malt, still carefully smoked in a peat-fired kiln, Bowmore is widely acknowledged to be among the finest, most perfectly balance single malts in the world.

Bowmore No 1 Whisky 700mL has flavours of vanilla sweetness, cinnamon spice and oak smoke to complement the citrus and lime finish.

Cosseted away in the finest, hand-selected oak casks and allowed to mature at its own sedate pace, this is one of the most remarkable, perfectly balanced malts of its kind. One of our rarest most exceptional bottlings, the stocks of Bowmore 18 Years Old may be limited but there's no end to its enjoyment.
