Bowmore The Vintner's Trilogy French Oak Barrique 26 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml
Bowmore The Vintner's Trilogy French Oak Barrique 26 Year Old is the second release in Bowmore's limited Vintner's Trilogy series, matured in the distillery's legendary No. 1 Vaults, the oldest Scotch whisky maturation warehouse in the world. This expression spent its first 13 years in ex-bourbon barrels before transferring to French oak wine barriques for a final 13 years, a rare double maturation that layers Bowmore's signature Islay peat with rich wine cask influence.
Bottled at cask strength of 48.7% ABV with no chill filtration, the nose brings baked cherries, blackberry jam, toasted raisin bread, and soft smoke, layered with hints of menthol and dark chocolate. The palate is fruity, smoky, and woody, delivering baking chocolate, berry cobbler, and cherry pie for a robust, well rounded character, finishing long with lingering fruit, gentle smoke, and a touch of sea salt.
A standout in Bowmore's collectible Vintner's Trilogy lineup, this 26 year old is a strong pick for Islay whisky collectors and fans of wine cask finished peated Scotch looking for something beyond the standard sherry or bourbon cask profile.
