Inspired by time and the sea front location of the Bowmore Distillery, the colors and textures of Islay’s ancient stone and bleached driftwood are encompassed within this limited release. This whisky is on a limited run of 201 bottles globally.
Bottled at a cask strength of 45.1%, the 40-Year-Old is a deep mahogany color and offers up aromas of honey, treacle and exotic fruits combined with beeswax and caramel. On the palate, pipe tobacco and chocolate unite with spices, leather, chestnuts, and pralines giving the whisky a long, lingering, and luxurious finish.
