Bowmore 25 Year Old Small Batch Release is a limited expression from one of Islay’s oldest distilleries — Bowmore in Loch Indaal, founded in 1779, presenting the distillery’s moderate peat and maritime character at 25 years of maturation in a small batch of carefully selected casks, bottled at 43% ABV.Bowmore occupies a distinctive position on Islay — less heavily peated than the southern Kildalton distilleries (Ardbeg, Laphroaig, Lagavulin) but more smoky than the northern Bunnahabhain. At 25 years the peat has integrated deeply with the sherry cask and coastal character, producing a complex and layered Islay expression where the smoke is a supporting rather than dominant element.
