The Bowmore 9 Years Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky comes from the historic Bowmore Distillery on the Scottish island of Islay. Founded as early as 1779, the distillery is one of Scotland’s oldest licensed distilleries and is renowned for a style that combines maritime character with peaty smoke. This Bowmore bears an age statement of 9 years and is produced exclusively from malted barley. During maturation, the single malt develops its characteristic Islay style, in which Bowmore’s typical smokiness interacts with fruit, malt and influences from the oak casks used. As such, this bottling offers an accessible introduction to the world of smoky Islay single malt whiskies.

After at least nine years of cask maturation, the Bowmore 9 Years Old is bottled at 40 per cent in a 0.7-litre bottle, complete with a gift box. The combination of a comparatively young, lively distillate and the smokiness characteristic of Bowmore gives this Scotch a unique place within the distillery’s range. Maritime influences, peat smoke and oak meet sweeter fruit and malt notes, creating a well-balanced overall character. As a 9-year-old single malt Scotch whisky from Islay, this edition combines a clearly defined age statement with Bowmore’s long distilling tradition and is suitable both for connoisseurs of the brand and for those wishing to discover the classic Bowmore style.

Tasting Note

Nose: Smoky and maritime with sweet malt and ripe fruit, accompanied by subtle oak spice and a delicate salty note.

The Bowmore 9 Years Old Islay Single Malt is particularly well suited to being enjoyed neat at room temperature, although a few drops of still water can further bring out its smoky and fruity facets. Culinary pairings such as smoked salmon, smoked ham, grilled meat or strong hard cheese complement its maritime, smoky profile. Dark chocolate or roasted nuts can also provide a fitting contrast to the peaty and malty notes. Thanks to its gift box, this whisky also makes an excellent present for lovers of smoky Scotch whiskies and Islay single malts.
