Bowmore 1988 Timeless Series 31 Year Old

Islay’s oldest working distillery, Bowmore was established in 1779 and is now regarded as one of the most popular malts not only on Islay, but in the whole of Scotland. The distillery was acquired by Stanley P. Morrison in 1963, ushering in an era of iconic single malts, including the legendary Black Bowmore, credited by many as the genesis of whisky collecting, bottled in 1993. The distillery was bought under the control Suntory the year after (they had been stakeholders since 1989), and it remains one of the most collectible brands in Scotch whisky today. Bowmore is one of the few remaining Scottish distilleries to use its own floor maltings, providing them with 40% of their requirements.

This Bowmore was distilled in 1988 and matured in bourbon casks for 29 years, then finished for two years in Spanish oak Matusalem Sherry-seasoned butts. It was bottled as part of the distillery's Timeless Series in February 2021.

A 28 year old version was also released alongside this edition, but this 31 year old was made exclusive to the travel retail market.

One of 3,000 bottles.
