Details
This limited edition Bowmore is from a selection of only 39 sherry casks, which were all matured in Bowmore's famous vaults below sea level.
The hand crafting for this exceptional malt whisky started back in 1990: the barley was carefully malted, hand turned and traditionally peat kiln dried at the distillery. After fermentation and slow distillation, through Bowmore's large copper stills, the spirit was laid down to mature in selected Oloroso sherry casks.
For sixteen years the casks were quietly rested, undisturbed in the deep, dark Bowmore vaults. Finally the golden spirit was decanted straight from the casks to the bottle. This is truly a fine expression of the Bowmore Distillers art.
