Production of the 12 Years Old Sherry Oak Cask from Bowmore

The production of the 12 Years Old Sherry Oak Cask in GP is based on select ingredients. The process begins with high-quality malted barley, which is processed using traditional methods. After malting, gentle mashing takes place, during which the malt is mixed with water. The resulting sugar is converted into alcohol in the subsequent fermentation process.

Distillation takes place in characteristic copper pot stills that lend the whisky its delicate aromas. The subsequent maturation occurs over twelve years in fine sherry oak casks that previously held delicious Oloroso sherry. These casks are crucial for the depth of flavor and aroma of the whisky. Through the interaction between wood and spirit, complex flavors develop that make this creation exceptional.
