Bowmore 15 Years Old 70cl 43°

Distillery : Bowmore / Country : Scotland / Reference: : 25156

The Bowmore 15-year-old is a beautiful whisky in the permanent range of the Bowmore distillery.

Its distinctive character is marked by rich aromas of grapes and a subtle smoke that set the stage for a lovely chocolaty centre.

This whisky stands out in particular for its maturation process, first in Bourbon casks and then in Oloroso casks. It is the last three years spent in these Sherry casks that give the Bowmore 15 Years Old its deep colour and warm, robust finish.

The 15-year-old Bowmore is a high quality whisky.

Bowmore is one of the largest and oldest of the Islay distilleries.


It was established in 1779 in Bowmore, capital of the Isle of Islay by David Simpson. The distillery remained in the Simpson family until 1837, date on which it was sold to William and James Mutter, consul of the Ottoman Empire, Brazil and Portugal in Glasgow.


In 1892, Bowmore was taken over by Joseph Robert Holmes, who introduced the name of Bowmore Distillery CO. In 1925, the distillery was purchased by Sheriffs' Bowmore Distillery Ltd. In 1950 William Grigor & Sons took over the distillery and went bankrupt in 1963. The distillery was then bought by Stanley P. Morrison. The name of the company was changed into Morrison Bowmore in 1987. Since 1994, the firm Morrison Bowmore is 100% owned by the Japanese Suntory.


The village sits on the shores of Loch Indaal bay. The distillery is located both geographically and in terms of taste between the South of the island, producing intense malts (Ardbeg, Lagavulin and Laphroaig, Port Ellen) and the North producing sweeter malts (Caol Ila, Bruichladdich, Bunnahabbain).


The general characteristic of the whiskies produced by the distillery is their great complexity. The river Laggan carries peaty waters. However the nature of the peat in Bowmore is different from that of other regions, as it carries more sand. The whisky is largely marketed as Single Malts, but also contributes to a number of blends, such as King Pride, Clan Roy, Rob Roy, Black Bottle and Islay Legend.

Colour: this whisky reveals a magnificent hue reminiscent of burnt sienna, adding a captivating visual dimension to the tasting experience.

Nose: the nose is greeted by bewitching aromas of dark chocolate and raisins that intermingle harmoniously with the characteristic smoke of Bowmore.

Palate: the taste buds are stimulated by flavours of cedar wood and molasses caramel of great richness, creating an intense taste sensation.

Finale: the tasting ends on a breathtaking note, where spicy accents, nuances of caramel, the subtlety of Sherry and the characteristic expression of barley mingle, leaving a lasting and memorable impression.

Winner of the Scotch Islay Single Malt aged 13 to 20 years category, World Whiskeys Awards 2024.
