About this bottle

Bowmore introduced its Sherry Oak Cask Collection in 2024 with four single malt offerings ranging from 12-21 years-old. This bottling matured at least 18 years in European oak oloroso sherry casks and American oak ex-bourbon barrels. It then received a finish in European oak oloroso sherry casks followed by a further finish in PX sherry casks. This is expected to launch in the US on Valentine's Day 2026. (SRP $325)

Expert panel, out of 100

The 4.05 score up top pulls the average toward its category until enough people have weighed in, so a handful of glowing reviews cannot outrank a thousand steady ones.
