Latest release from Bowmore is this 1991 vintage has spent sixteen years maturing in 24 port casks held safe in the Bowmore vaults below sea level. Now it’s ours to enjoy.

The result according to Bowmore is a whisky colored in deep ruby. The aromas are big and luscious with rich stewed fruit berries, sweet black cherries and hints of bitter dark chocolate underlined with a light Bowmore smokiness.

Glen Moore, Bowmore brand director said: “We have seen increasing interest in limited edition releases and the influence different wood makes to the Bowmore spirit. The influence of the port casks is quite evident on the palate, packed full of brambles and damson jam, but still retaining that earthy, smokey Bowmore signature.”
