Tasting Notes: Bowmore Mariner 15 Year Old

Nose :- Lightly spiced oak and delicate peat smoke. Coal tar and candied orange peel. Faint green apple and creamy fudge undertones

Palate :- Smoky dry oak with dried fruits and apple. A pinch of sea salt adds maritime tension. Medium-bodied with a subtle sherry richness from Oloroso cask influence

Finish :- Lingering peat with cinnamon and white pepper. A dry, spicy fade that echoes the coastal origins

Matured in American oak ex-bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry seasoned casks. The sherry adds depth and sweetness, while the bourbon casks preserve Bowmore’s signature smoky backbone

Originally aimed at the travel retail market, making it a bit of a unicorn among Bowmore’s core range

Non-vintage bottling, but often associated with late 1990s to early 2000s releases

Aged 15 years, bottled at 43% ABV—classic strength for sipping without dilution
