Bowmore's "The Changeling" is a remarkable 22-year-old single malt whisky, marking the second release in their esteemed Frank Quitely Series. This series is a collaboration with the acclaimed graphic artist Frank Quitely, and this exceptional whisky, limited to 6667 bottles, draws inspiration from the legendary tale of "The Changeling." The whisky undergoes a meticulous aging process, spending 20 years in American oak hogshead casks to develop Bowmore's signature style, before being finished for an additional two years in white port casks. This finishing imparts delicate floral and fruit notes to the whisky, enhancing its complexity. Bowmore Distillery, nestled on the rugged shores of Islay, was established in 1779 and boasts a rich history marked by various changes in ownership. The distillery is celebrated for its exceptional whiskies, including the iconic Black Bowmore, which debuted in 1993 and played a pivotal role in elevating the prestige whisky market. The Changeling is a collaborative creation by Frank Quitely and Bowmore's master blender Ron Welsh. As part of the Frank Quitely collection, this release seeks to encapsulate the myths and legends of Islay, Bowmore's island home. Presented in a 700ml bottle at a robust 51.2% ABV, this whisky is elegantly packaged in a presentation box, making it a prized addition to any collection.
