This travel exclusive augments our layered house style with the enchantingly sweet notes of Port casks. The result is a whisky of surprising elegance, redolent with rich, dark sweetness against the captivating background of deep, misty woodsmoke. This outstanding Bowmore combines our signature complexity with the richness of casks from Portugal’s finest port houses.
Matured in American Oak ex-Bourbon and European Oak Sherry casks, our 16 Year Old is then finished to perfection in Ruby Port casks. A masterclass of intention.
This expressive and adventurous 16-Year Old travel exclusive offer autumnal sweetness, tenderly enhanced by Bowmore's signature style. It reveals an intriguing dimension of mature fruitiness, derived from casks sourced from one of the most storied Port houses in the Douro Valley.
Tasting Notes:
Colour: Ruby - A confident, resplendent shade bestowed by ruby port casks.
Nose: Walnuts - A story of tanned leather, moist blackcurrants, fennel seeds, hints of ginger, and bonfire embers.
Palate: Dark Sugar - Sweetness abounds. Soft chocolate fudge and demerara sugar, complement salted walnuts and oaky notes.
Finish: Gentle Smoke - A deep and expressive smokiness, sweet and pale, that lingers on the palate.
"Finished in ruby port casks after an initial maturation in bourbon and European oak sherry casks, this indulgent, satisfying dram is the standout in this collection. Assuredly peaty on the nose, with cranberry, strawberry bubble gum, black currant mousse, and fine spices. It’s soothing and smooth in the mouth, showing milk chocolate, fudge cake, brown sugar, and salty smoke, then a finish of chocolate lava cake and peat smoke." - Jonny McCormick, Whisky Advocate (94 Points)
"There’s depth, there’s complexity, and fair representation from the Islay; I might have liked a tad more peat, but I’m not really complaining. At around AUD $170, it’s a whisky that sits above par, got good flex, has rizz and well worth for round two!" - Donnie, My Whisky Diaries
