Bowmore 25 year old Single Malt Whisky Islay Single Malt Whisky (750ml)

SKU #1004947 92 points Wine Enthusiast

This Islay single malt has an amber hue and an aroma that mixes smoke and caramel. The palate opens with plenty of iodine, saline and peat, followed by a bit of cocoa. Adding water brings more fudge, espresso and mocha forward, plus a strong billow of smoke into the lingering finish. (12/2019)

Amber chestnut color. Aromas of rich sherry, ripe fruit, toffee, molasses, peat smoke, damp oak, and nuts. Medium to full in body. Its flavors start out rich and sweet, with sherried fruit, toffee, and dark chocolate. It then becomes drier with notes of peat, smoked nuts, seaweed and brine, ultimately finishing with notes of spice, bitter chocolate, and smoky smoldering embers. This is a new bottling of Bowmore 25 year old and an improved one at that. It is richer, fuller, and more balanced than its predecessor. A wonderful dram indeed. The 17 year old was my favorite of the standard Bowmore line. Not anymore. (JH, Spring 2003)

K&L Notes

Special order items are not in stock and are dependent upon quantity available from distribution. All special orders are final and non-refundable. 96-100 points Wine Enthusiast: "A new recipe, one that employs a higher proportion of Sherry-influenced whisky. Initial sniffings are briny, salty and cotton candy sweet; aeration adds scents of pastry, baked pear and butterscotch. Palate entry is rich, almost jammy and peppered with salty/winey flavors; midpalate explodes with deep tastes of maple, honey, brown sugar and toffee. Finish is long, nicely balanced between the sea salt and the sherry, and succulent." (05/2003)
