Bowmore Timeless Series unveiled

Bowmore Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky has unveiled the Bowmore Timeless Series, which features masterpieces of whisky beautifully crafted and shaped by time. This month, Bowmore introduces two new additions to this older age range of whiskies: Bowmore Timeless 27 Year Old (introduced worldwide) and Bowmore Timeless 31 Year Old (exclusive to Global Travel Retail). Each bottling is a limited edition of just 3,000 bottles.

Matured in Sherry and ex-Bourbon casks for 15 years before being carefully moved into first-fill Oloroso butts for a further 12 years, Bowmore Timeless 27 Year Old is bottled at cask strength. With the distinctive Bowmore character, this single malt offers up fruity flavour, combined with rich sherry and a nod to fresh leather, tobacco and beeswax.  The auburn coloured whisky is bottled at 52.7 percent ABV and has a SRP of 1525 USD.

Exclusive to Global Travel Retail, Bowmore Timeless 31 Year Old has been nurtured in ex-Bourbon casks, selected at their peak, for 29 years. This was then followed by two years in Spanish Oak Matusalem Sherry seasoned butts to  ‘finish’ and enhance the flavours; defined by floral notes, with honey and vanilla sweetness and a touch of peppermint. The deep gold coloured whisky is bottled at 45.4 percent and has a SRP of 2100 USD.

The Bowmore Timeless Series is housed in a distinctive black box, inspired by the classic hourglass shape. Inside, the bottle sits alongside an hourglass, which once turned allows nature’s gravity to release the grains of sand into the base of the hourglass, thereby giving three precious minutes to enjoy the nose of this beautifully balanced masterpiece that has taken decades to perfect.
