SMWS 3.270 Bowmore 1997 18 Year Old

From the famed Islay distillery of Bowmore, this 18-year-old single malt—bottled by The Scotch Malt Whisky Society in 1997—offers a complex character matured in a refill sherry butt. Distilled on September 25th, 1997, this expression (code 3.270) presents a rich and intriguing profile, hinting at a delightful interplay of smoky peat and sweet sherry influences. At 55.8% ABV, expect a robust and full-bodied experience, showcasing the unique spirit of Bowmore as envisioned by the Society’s cask selection. One of just 594 bottles released, this whisky delivers a uniquely layered taste, described playfully as “surf ‘n’ turf in a camel’s saddle bag.”
