Islay distillery Bowmore has added a pair of limited edition Scotch whiskies – a 29-year-old and a 33-year-old – to their Timeless Series.
Bowmore Timeless 29 Year Old was matured in both sherry-seasoned European oak casks along with ex-bourbon American oak barrels filled in 1991 and 1992, bottled at a cask strength of 53.7% alcohol by volume [107.4 proof] and is said to offer notes of raisins, bitter orange, cherry blossom, cocoa, licorice, peat, raisins and sea salt.
Bowmore Timeless 33 Year Old was matured in a trio of containers – ex-bourbon American oak barrels, Matusalem sherry-seasoned European oak butts and second-fill European oak Oloroso sherry butts, bottled at 45.5% alcohol by volume [91 proof] and is said to offer notes of eucalyptus, honey, jasmine and peat smoke.
Only 3,000 bottles of each whisky are being made available worldwide this month, with Bowmore Timeless 29 Year Old going for $1,800 per bottle and Bowmore Timeless 33 Year Old going for $2,800 per bottle.
