43% ABV
 
A mini of the Bowmore 18 year-old, which replaced the 17 year-old expression in 2007. Probably the most maritime Bowmore we've tried, very kippery. This release is a part of the distillery’s core range and a well-loved malt among Islay fans. It eventually replaced the 17-year-old which was gradually phased out to make room for its more mature sibling. There are notes of salty kippers, milk chocolate and coal smoke.
