Bowmore 1996 Hand Filled Cask #2534 17th Edition

From the oldest distillery on Islay, this Bowmore was distilled in 1996 and matured for over two decades, drawing character from the legendary shores of Lochindaal. Crafted with a third of malt still traditionally floor-malted on-site, it embodies a connection to centuries of Scottish whisky-making heritage. This expression, bottled in 2017 from a single first-fill Oloroso Sherry butt (#2534), presents a robust 56.2% ABV and delivers a rich, complex flavour profile imbued with the influence of sherry oak. Expect a whisky that is both powerfully Islay and elegantly refined, a testament to Bowmore’s enduring spirit.
