The Bowmore 1998 Whisky is a unique and rare bottle, distilled on January 13, 1998, and matured in a sherry cask. It was bottled by hand in 2018, with each customer having the opportunity to fill their own bottle using a traditional valinch. Available exclusively at the historic Bowmore distillery on Islay, Scotland, this whisky is a collector's gem, never sold in stores. The Bowmore distillery, established in 1779, is renowned for its commitment to traditional methods, including the use of local barley and floor maltings. Known for producing some of the world's most prestigious and collectable malts, Bowmore continues to uphold its legacy with this exceptional release. This bottle was matured in Oloroso Sherry Cask #58 and boasts an ABV of 57.5%, bottled on various dates in December 2018 and January 2019.
This whisky was hand-filled by customers at the Bowmore distillery, matured in an exclusive Oloroso Sherry Cask, and is not available in any shops.
The Bowmore 1998 Whisky features deep dark fruits, chocolate, light smoke, noticeable alcohol strength, and a long, round finish with light sweet smoke.
The Bowmore Distillery is situated on the island of Islay in Scotland, known for its rich heritage in whisky production.
Overall: The Bowmore 1998 Whisky presents a masterful composition of rich and dark aromatic notes with a sophisticated balance of fruit, chocolate, and subtle smokiness. The alcohol strength is keenly felt but not overpowering, leading to a smooth and lingering finish. It's an indulgence for the senses, marking it as a truly exceptional Islay whisky.
As a whisky enthusiast and reviewer, I find the Bowmore 1998 Hand-filled at the distillery Oloroso Sherry Cask #58 to be a sublime expression of Bowmore's craftsmanship. It perfectly captures the essence of Islay with its deep, evocative flavors and a long, satisfying finish. This is not just a drink but an experience to be cherished by collectors and connoisseurs alike.
