Bowmore Distillery 15 Years Old – Golden & Elegant ( 2017 )

Bowmore Distillery 15 Years Old – Golden & Elegant

Islay Single Malt · 43% · 1 liter · Travel Retail

Bowmore 15 Years Old Golden & Elegant is an exclusive travel retail bottling , developed for duty-free markets. This whisky was matured entirely in first-fill bourbon casks and hogsheads , resulting in a lighter, fruitier, and less sherry-driven style than the classic Bowmore 15 Darkest .

The focus here is on elegance and balance , with a subtle Islay smoke that remains supportive and never overpowering. The 1-liter bottle makes this an attractive choice for those seeking a statement piece without the heavy profile.
