Bowmore Vintner’s Trilogy: 18 Year Old Double Matured Manzanilla

52.5% abv | The first of the Vintner's Trilogy.

Liquid Gold

As the world’s oldest scotch maturation house, Bowmore’s legendary No.1 Vaults is the birthplace of coveted and collectable whiskies including the new Vintner’s Trilogy. The first of the Vintner’s Trilogy, Bowmore® 18 Year Old is matured in both ex-bourbon barrels and ex-manzanilla sherry barrels, taking on a rich antique gold colour.

Released as part of the Vintner's Trilogy in October 2017, this 18-year-old single malt matures in two types of casks. For the first 13 years, it ages in ex-bourbon barrels. The whiskey is then transferred to former ex-manzanilla sherry casks for the remaining 5 years. The whiskey was warehoused entirely in Bowmore's No. 1 Vaults. Bottled at 52.5% ABV.
