Bowmore Appellations Collection 14 year old Bordeaux Cask Finished, 43%

Price: 67 Issue: Summer 2025 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

Matured in bourbon barrels and finished in Bordeaux red wine barriques, the nose opens with peppery smoke, dry earthiness, bramble, black cherry, lilies, and dried vine fruit. It carries a confident firm fruitiness on the palate, with red apple, red gummies, cherry, and upfront peppery notes, revealing a supple texture with hints of sea salt and beach bonfire smoke. The finish is delicious with bitter dark chocolate truffle. (Travel Retail exclusive; Release date: 8/24)
