Bowmore 1992 26 Year Old

Bowmore 1992 26 Year Old is a limited-release single malt Scotch whisky from the Bowmore Distillery on Islay. Distilled in 1992 and aged for 26 years in French oak barriques that previously held wine from the famous Château Lagrange in Bordeaux, this expression combines Bowmore's signature Islay peat smoke with rich, complex fruit and oak influences from the French wine casks.
