A limited edition of 3000 for Bowmore 27-year-old

Bowmore has unveiled a limited edition 27-year-old whisky which is restricted to just 3000 bottles.

The new addition joins its older age range of whiskies as part of the Bowmore Timeless Series.

The Bowmore Timeless series balances smoke, exotic fruit and sea salt.

With 3000 bottles available, Bowmore 27-year-old has been matured in sherry and ex-bourbon casks for 15 years before being carefully moved into first-fill Oloroso butts for a further 12 and 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 exquisite expression is housed in a distinctive black box alongside an hourglass which when turned provides drinkers with three precious minutes to enjoy the nose of the single malt.

Ron Welsh, master blender at Bowmore, said: ‘With Bowmore Timeless Series, the key is the careful selection of the right casks, at the right time. This enables us to determine when the spirit has reached its peak, or if it should be left longer to develop its character further. This careful balance is vital to ensuring we allow the character of our whiskies to be optimised and can therefore, promise exceptional flavour delivery.’

Exclusive to Global Travel Retail Bowmore 31-year-old will also be introduced to the Bowmore Timeless Series. Nurtured in ex-bourbon casks, selected at their peak, for 29 years before 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.

To celebrate the launch of the Timeless Series, Bowmore has collaborated with independent French film director and artist, Thomas Vanz, to pay homage to the artistic craft of creating its iconic whiskies. Through the medium of film and artwork, Vanz has illustrated the power of time as expressed in the evolution of whisky. Conveying the unfolding moments of cosmic beauty in the creation of Bowmore’s Timeless single malt whisky; an abstract yet captivating interpretation.

Thomas said: ‘The artistry involved in the whisky making process is fascinating and provided me with rich and vivid inspiration to create my own unique interpretation. Through my work, I focused on capturing a galaxy of beautiful chemical reactions to represent the whisky-making process, which is made up of complex movement and colours.

‘This is my interpretation of the Bowmore universe, from where it begins to the final character. To collaborate with a single malt with such a remarkable legacy and from an awe-inspiring place is a first for me and I relished the opportunity to explore Bowmore in my own way.’
