Matured in a refill Sherry butt, this expression was released at 52.1% ABV with an outturn of 719 bottles. The profile marries earthy peat with firm smoke and secondary notes of leather, iodine and red fruits. On the palate, the spirit is intense and smoky with a balanced sweetness of honey and lemon. This release showcases the transition of the spirit towards a more balanced and complex style in the late 1990s, capturing a specific moment in the distillery maturation history.

Bowmore is one of the oldest distilleries on Islay and the first on the island to receive a license. Officially founded in 1779 by local merchant David Simpson, it's likely that illicit distilling had been taking place for some years on the same site. The distillery had a number of different owners over the years, passing to Stanley Morrison in the mid 60s before being purchased by Beam Suntory in 1994.
The distillery has bottled some of the world's most desirable single malts over the years including the widely acclaimed White, Black and Gold Bowmore editions. Across the range, the spirit is characterised by a rich smoky character with hints of tropical fruit and ocean spray.
