The Whisky Age Perfect Dram Bowmore 26 Years Old 1997 is a rare long-aged Islay single malt independently bottled by Whisky Agency at cask strength 51.1% ABV in a standard 700ml bottle. Distilled in 1997 and matured for twenty-six years, this limited Perfect Dram release balances Bowmore’s signature gentle peat with rich aged oak and dark fruit complexity. Its aroma carries soft smouldering peat, coastal sea salt, ripe black plum, dried fig, vanilla custard and subtle dark chocolate. The palate delivers silky viscous malt, mild medicinal smoke, briny maritime mineral notes, jammy dark berry and polished sherry oak tannins refined by decades of slow maturation. It offers an extremely long, sophisticated finish of lingering peat ash, preserved stone fruit and warm wood spice. Highly sought after by Islay vintage collectors, this high-proof aged Bowmore features well-tamed smoke and elegant fruit depth, best savoured neat to appreciate its multi-layered mature character.
