Old ParticularBowmore

Old Particular Bowmore is an 11-year-old Islay single malt bottled at cask strength from a single refill bourbon barrel. For a novice drinker, that usually suggests a whisky with clear distillery character and less influence from heavy oak or wine casks.

Bowmore is widely associated with a balance of coastal character, gentle peat smoke, and fruit, while refill bourbon wood often keeps the style relatively clean and spirit-forward. At 62.7% ABV, this will be powerful and likely benefits from a little water in the glass.
