Bowmore 1988 Timeless Series 33 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 1989 and initially matured in bourbon casks, then finished in Spanish oak Matusalem sherry-seasoned butts and second-fill European oak Oloroso casks. It was bottled as part of the distillery's Timeless Series.
