Bowmore 18 Year Old

A superbly balanced Islay single malt and a core expression in the Bowmore range, the 18 Year Old replaced the distillery’s earlier 17-year-old release and has since become one of its most admired whiskies.

Matured in carefully selected oak casks and aged slowly in Bowmore’s legendary No.1 Vaults – the world’s oldest whisky maturation warehouse – this expression showcases the distillery’s distinctive harmony of fruit, smoke and maritime character.

The whisky offers a beautifully layered profile, combining ripe fruits and dark chocolate with Bowmore’s signature gentle Islay smoke. Subtle coastal notes emerge alongside hints of salty kippers and coal smoke, creating a rich yet elegant dram with exceptional balance.

With a heritage stretching back almost 240 years, Bowmore remains Islay’s oldest distillery, and this 18-year-old expression stands as one of its most refined and characterful single malts.
