Product Description

A remarkable release from Islay’s oldest distillery, the Bowmore 1996 25 Year Old – Distiller’s Anthology is a rare and beautifully matured single malt that showcases the coastal elegance and rich complexity Bowmore is known for.

Distilled in 1996 and matured for a full quarter-century, this expression has developed an exquisite balance of maritime character, sherry-influenced depth, and signature Bowmore peat smoke.

Bottled in 2022 as part of the limited Distiller’s Anthology series, this is one of 3516 bottles yielded from first-fill Oloroso sherry casks at a natural strength 50.2% ABV.

Expect an aroma of dried fruits, sea salt, and soft oak, leading to a palate layered with dark chocolate, spiced citrus, and a gentle wisp of coastal smoke. The long, warming finish is both elegant and enduring — a true celebration of Bowmore’s craftsmanship.

Presented in a luxurious presentation box, this 25 year old is a standout collector’s piece and a tribute to the legacy of one of Scotland’s most iconic distilleries.
