This is a 27 year old single malt from Islay's Bowmore Distillery, which has been released as part of the very snazzy Timeless Series. It was matured initially in sherry and ex-bourbon casks for 15 years, and then moved over to first-fill Oloroso sherry butts for another 12 years. Following that, the whisky was bottled up at cask strength, and has been presented in a very stylish box alongside an actual hourglass! It counts down three minutes, which is time enough for you to really savour the whisky's nose before you take your first sip. A release of 3,000 bottles.
These bottles were part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
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.
Sweet with chestnut honey and strong bee’s wax, fresh leather and Montecristo cigar tobacco, roasted coffee beans and dark chocolate with a hint of oak tannins.
Long with scented burnt wood notes, dry fruits and a touch of frankincense.
