À propos

This Bowmore 1997 represents a masterclass in aged Islay single malt, showcasing the remarkable balance achieved over 27 years in a refill sherry butt. The marriage of Bowmore's signature peat character with the rich, warming influence of sherry maturation creates a whisky of considerable depth and sophistication. A truly mature expression that rewards patient exploration. The nose reveals an enticing complexity: dried tropical fruits, chocolate and coffee notes, complemented by tobacco and leather undertones. On the palate, vibrant fruit emerges—pineapple, mango, and passionfruit—alongside an oily mouthfeel and a growing medicinal smokiness that develops gracefully. The finish lingers with honey, briny coastal notes, and persistent peaty smoke, interspersed with peppery spice and tea-like tannins that add structure and elegance. Best enjoyed as a contemplative evening dram, where its many layers can be fully appreciated without distraction.
