Bowmore 16 Year Old Living Souls
Bottle Information
Tasting Notes
Bowmore 16 Year Old Living Souls is a mature and characterful Islay single malt Scotch whisky, bottled in 2026 by Living Souls. Matured in refill barrels and bottled at 50.0% ABV, this 16 year old expression allows Bowmore’s distinctive combination of elegant peat smoke, coastal freshness and fruit to remain firmly at the forefront. Bowmore is renowned for a refined style of Islay whisky, balancing maritime salinity and gentle smoke with citrus, orchard fruit and subtle sweetness. The use of refill barrels gives the spirit room to develop over time without excessive oak influence, preserving the distillery’s character while adding layers of vanilla, soft spice and mature wood. At 16 years old, the whisky shows excellent depth and balance, with the peat softened by time into a more integrated and elegant profile. Bottled at 50.0% ABV, it retains plenty of texture and intensity, making it an expressive example of mature Bowmore with a clear sense of distillery character.
