Description

Bowmore Legend is a single malt Scotch whisky from Islay, known for its balanced and approachable character. It is a non-age statement release, matured primarily in ex-Bourbon barrels. It offers a gentle peat smoke alongside notes of citrus, honey, and sea salt, making it a good introduction to Islay whiskies. This expression was part of Bowmore's core range, first appearing around 1993/1994 and produced until 2015.
