Malts of Islay

Mission Gold Autumn 2023

Bowmore and Laphroaig, two legendary Islay malt whiskies, were left to marry in a Sherry butt for over 30 years. The resulting whisky leads with the delicate flavours of Bowmore that was produced in this distillery’s much-celebrated golden era, whilst giving a gentle nod to Laphroaig’s robust Islay peat.

As one of the most treasured whiskies in our whisky arsenal, each release is eagerly awaited. This year, we have further matured this venerable spirit in Oloroso Sherry hogsheads, which has bestowed an extra layer of elegance to this iconic Bowmore/Laphroaig marriage – a true testament to the Art of Maturation.
