Bowmore Distillery 10 Years Old – Dark & ​​Intense

Islay Single Malt · 40% · 1 liter · Travel Retail Exclusive

Bowmore 10 Years Old Dark & ​​Intense is a travel retail exclusive bottling , created for those who appreciate a richer, sherry-driven Islay style in an accessible format. This whisky was matured in a marriage of Spanish oak sherry casks and hogsheads , which provides more depth and warmth than the classic Bowmore 12.

The emphasis here is less on citrus and more on dark fruit, chocolate and spiciness , with Bowmore's signature smoke subtly in the background.
