The Whisky Agency Bowmore 2008 17-year-old is a Scotch single malt from Islay, a region known for whiskies that often combine maritime character with peat smoke. Bowmore is widely recognised for balancing smoke with fruit and malt rather than pushing peat to the most intense extreme.

A fuller-bodied, waxy Bowmore with coastal saltwater, seaweed and citrus, balanced by tropical mango and syrupy passion fruit.
