Bowmore 14 Years Bordeaux Cask Finish Whisky

Bowmore 14 Years Bordeaux Wine Cask Finish is a travel retail single malt Scotch whisky that marries the characteristic smoke of Islay with the rich, fruity influence of red wine casks. It is matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks before being finished in Bordeaux wine barriques, a process that gives the whisky a rich swirl of ruby red hues and layers of complex flavour.

Bottled at 43% ABV, it opens with Black Forest gateau, ripe cherries, pine nuts and sea salt. The palate is salty, drying and spicy before giving way to a rich orchestra of fruit, and the finish brings raspberries, cherries and strawberries, resolving to bitter dark chocolate. It is a captivating dram for Islay enthusiasts and lovers of wine-finished whisky alike.
