Bowmore 14 Years Bordeaux Cask Islay Single Malt Scotch [700ML]

Description

Looking for an Islay single malt that bridges the gap between bold peat smoke and refined wine elegance?

As a certified spirits specialist, I’m thrilled to introduce the Bowmore 14 Years Bordeaux Cask Islay Single Malt Scotch, a truly exceptional expression from one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries. This Premium release showcases 14 years of patient maturation finished in hand-selected Bordeaux wine casks, creating a sophisticated marriage of Islay’s signature coastal character with French wine refinement. Similar to the elegant cask influence found in Arran Sauternes Cask Single Malt, this offers complexity beyond typical Islay expressions, while maintaining the gentle approachability of Bunnahabhain’s coastal style.

• Distillery: Bowmore – established 1779, Islay’s oldest licensed distillery
• Region: Islay, Scotland – renowned for maritime influence and balanced peat character
• ABV: 40% – approachable strength that reveals complexity with a splash of water
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: 14 years in traditional oak, finished in Bordeaux wine casks
• Tasting Notes: Nose opens with gentle peat smoke intertwined with dark berries and vanilla. Palate delivers coastal salinity balanced by rich red fruit, dark chocolate, and subtle wine tannins. Finish is medium-long with warming smoke and lingering berry sweetness
• Best Served: Neat at room temperature in a Glencairn glass, or with a teaspoon of water to unlock fruit notes

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store have found this expression particularly food-friendly compared to heavily peated Islays. The Bordeaux cask finish adds remarkable depth that transforms throughout the tasting experience, revealing new layers with each sip.

Ideal for: Distinguished whisky collectors, Chinese New Year gift-giving, and milestone celebrations. Pairs with: Rich Malaysian cuisine including Hainanese char siu, beef rendang, duck confit, aged cheeses, and dark chocolate desserts. Recommended for: Enthusiasts seeking refined complexity at RM 285, complementing aged expressions like Glen Moray 18 Years.
