The Bowmore 30yo Ultimate Rare Collection is a limited-edition single malt whisky, distilled in 1989 and bottled in 2020. This rare whisky has been meticulously aged for three decades in a combination of sherry hogsheads and bourbon barrels, resulting in a cask strength of 45.3% ABV. With only 2580 bottles available, this whisky is a celebration of Bowmore's rich fruity and subtly smoky style.
On the nose, this whisky offers aromas of heather honey, bananas, peaches, pineapple, vanilla, and butterscotch, complemented by notes of soft peat smoke and eucalyptus. The palate delivers tropical fruits with honey sweetness, subtle peat smoke, and hints of eucalyptus. The finish is mouth-warming, with ripe fruits lingering on the tongue.
The Bowmore distillery, located on the shore of Loch Indaal, was established in 1779 and is the oldest producing distillery on the island of Islay. The distillery is currently operated by Morrison Bowmore Distillers, a part of Beam Suntory. Bowmore is known for its traditional methods, using as much local barley from the island as possible and its own floor maltings.
This whisky is the first of a new annual release series, inspired by the terrain that surrounds the Bowmore Distillery and the legendary landscape that defines the whisky. The case in which it is enclosed reflects the intricate patterns found on driftwood and the sleek finish of sea glass, showcasing its deep-rooted connection with Islay.
The uniqueness comes from its 30-year maturation in a combination of sherry hogsheads and bourbon barrels, and the limited availability of only 2580 bottles.
The key flavor profiles include tropical fruits, honey sweetness, subtle peat smoke, and hints of eucalyptus.
The Bowmore distillery is located on the shore of Loch Indaal on the island of Islay, Scotland.
