Bowmore No. 1 700ml

Bowmore No. 1 takes its name from Bowmore’s No. 1 Vaults, the distillery’s original warehouse, which sits right at the edge of the sea on Islay’s Loch Indaal. The whisky is matured exclusively in first-fill bourbon casks, giving it a sweet, creamy character that softens Islay’s famous smoke.

The result is a warm-gold single malt that balances vanilla fudge, citrus and coconut against a light touch of salt and peat. It is smoky without being heavy — an easy way into the world of Islay whisky.
