Bowmore 26 Years Old 1996 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml | 49.9% ABV

Bottled by The Whisky Agency as part of their Sequences bottling series.

Matured in a Hogshead

1 of 128 bottles 

Only 128 bottles ever made, this Bowmore was matured in a single hogshead for 26 years before being bottled in 2024 at 49.9% abv. The whisky itself is full of bright fruit and elegant peat balancing themselves beautifully after so many years in the cask. One to savour. 

Nose: Bold fruits with BBQ pineapple and classic elegant Bowmore peat, then touches of tar and ash. 

Palate: Honeyed and briney, bursting with bonfire passionfruit and slighty salted lemon; mango lingers in the background and overall borderline tropical. 

Finish: Hints of menthol, honey and more fruity peat. Gorgeous whisky.
