Bowmore, Vaults Series 40 Year Old

Limited to just 161 bottles, this Bowmore 40 Year Old is the result of a long marriage of bourbon and sherry cask influences over four decades. Its deep color and complex aromas offer tropical fruits, tobacco spice, and butterscotch, creating a luxurious and layered expression that highlights Bowmore’s subtle maritime character.
Nose
Tropical fruit, butterscotch, burnt mango, oak spice, peat smoke
Palate
Nut oil, leather, tobacco spice, toffee
Finish
Oak spice, worn leather, dark chocolate
The nose is rich and tropical with tinned peaches, butterscotch and burnt mango, tempered by wood and peat. The palate starts savoury with nut oil and leather before tobacco spice meets softer sweetness. Only a trace of Bowmore’s usual character remains, but it works. The finish is long and luxurious.
