Bowmore 16 Years Old Ruby Port Cask Finish Islay Single Malt 43% Vol. 0,7l in Giftbox

The Bowmore 16 Years Old Ruby Port Cask Finish is an exclusive and expressive bottling from the legendary Islay distillery Bowmore, which has been one of the oldest officially licensed distilleries in Scotland since 1779. This 16-year-old single malt combines the typical maritime and peaty characteristics of the island of Islay with an elegant sweetness and fruity depth created by the finish in fine Ruby port casks from Portugal.

After a long maturation period in traditional oak casks, this whisky is transferred to Ruby port casks for the final finishing, which gives it additional fruit notes, color and complexity. The result is a perfectly balanced Islay malt with a harmonious interplay of smoky and sweet elements.

With an alcohol content of 43% vol., this single malt unfolds its aromas in a soft and multi-layered way. The stylish gift packaging underlines the premium character of the bottling and makes it ideal for collectors, lovers of elegant Islay whiskies or as a high-quality gift.
