This 27-year old single malt has been carefully matured in Sherry and Bourbon casks for 15 years.
Then, it was carefully moved to first-fill Oloroso butts. Here it remained for 12 years, only to be released once at its best and considered a worthy legacy.
Following that, the whisky was bottled up at cask strength, and has been presented in a very stylish box alongside an hourglass!
It counts down three minutes, which is time enough for you to really savour this Bowmore's plentiful nose before you take your first sip.
A release of 3,000 bottles.
Nose: Fruity cooked plums and prune jam. Corinth raisins and sultana notes with a strong Oloroso influence. Toffee and maple syrup, liquorice, grilled orange peel and smoked seaweed.
Palate: Tobacco, rich cocoa and the warming Islay peat smoke.
Finish: The finish is long with scented burnt wood notes, dry fruits and a touch of frankincense.
