Bowmore 21 year old Sherry Oak Cask, 46.8%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2025 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
The oldest release in the Sherry Oak range is finished in first-fill Pedro Ximénez casks after being matured in bourbon and oloroso sherry casks. The aromas are captivating with aged tobacco leaf, oolong tea, velvety peat smoke, manuka honey, and vanilla pod. On the palate, strawberry and peppery smoke, but the sweetness fades to savory notes of smoked duck, with plums and red berries lingering into the finish. (Release date: 10/24)
