The Bowmore 40 Year Old is a single malt whisky from Islay's oldest working distillery, established in 1779. Known for its traditional methods, Bowmore sources as much local barley as possible and uses its own floor maltings for 40% of its requirements. This limited release from 2021 is restricted to just 161 bottles, each containing whisky distilled and matured for four decades on the picturesque banks of Lochindaal. Aged in a harmonious blend of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, it is bottled at 48.7% ABV.
The whisky boasts a deep, rich mahogany color with a complex bouquet of honey, treacle, exotic fruits, polish, beeswax, and caramel. The palate is equally enchanting, with pronounced notes of pipe tobacco, toffee, chocolate, spices, leather, chestnuts, and pralines, culminating in a long, luxurious finish.
Bowmore is celebrated as one of the most popular malts in Scotland, renowned for its dedication to quality and traditional craftsmanship. This 40 Year Old expression is a rare and exceptional testament to the distillery's unwavering commitment to producing high-quality whiskies.
