Bowmore debuts annual 30 YO single malt release

Bowmore Islay single malt Scotch whisky has launched its first annual release 30 Year Old in celebration of how time shapes the exceptional Bowmore character and bringing a new aged expression to the global portfolio.

30 YO single malt harnesses the power of time in every single drop, which tells a story of the past that is savoured in the present. This is a single malt defined, shaped and crafted by time.

Distilled in 1989, this rare single malt whisky has been carefully nurtured for three decades in Bowmore’s finest Sherry hogsheads and Bourbon barrels. It is matured in the Bowmore No. 1 Vaults, one of the world’s oldest maturation warehouses. Selected from just two casks each year, this is an exceptional single malt that embodies the last thirty years at the very core of its character.

Bottled at a cask strength of 45.3 percent ABV, this newly launched expression is a celebration of Bowmore’s rich fruity and subtly smoky style. With a burnished gold natural colour, this whisky offers aromas of heather, banana, peach, pineapple, vanilla and butterscotch. While on the palate, tropical fruits and honey sweetness unite with subtle peat smoke and hints of eucalyptus; ensuring a warming and lingering finish.

The liquid is available with an SRP of $2,500 in the US.
