Description
The Bowmore Legend Islay single malt is one of the best-known bottlings from the renowned Bowmore distillery and is considered the ideal introduction to the world of Islay whiskies. With its characteristic peat smoke, maritime influences and a pleasant malty sweetness, this single malt offers a harmonious balance that will delight both whisky novices and experienced connoisseurs alike.
Produced on the Scottish island of Islay, Bowmore Legend benefits from the distillery’s long tradition, which dates back to 1779. It is matured in selected oak casks, which allows the whisky to develop its fine wood and vanilla flavours. The combination of light smokiness and fruity elements creates an accessible yet expressive single malt with a pleasant depth.
