Just Landed: Bowmore 30 Year Old at The Whisky Exchange – Scotch Whisky News
New to The Whisky Exchange, the 2021-release of Bowmore 30 Year Old, matured in the remote Islay distillery’s finest sherry hogsheads and bourbon barrels. Bottled at a cask strength of 45.1% ABV, this rare whisky is perfect for collectors and fans of sought-after single malts shaped by time.
A combination of just two casks, this 30-year-old is a celebration of Bowmore’s rich fruity and subtly smoky style, with flavours of tropical fruit, honey sweetness and peat smoke on the palate.
The 2021-release of Bowmore 30 Year Old was distilled in 1989 and matured in a combination of sherry hogsheads and bourbon barrels until it was bottled in 2020. Aromas of heather honey, vanilla, butterscotch, raisins and peaches fill the nose, complemented by notes of mango, fruit cake, warming peat smoke, crème brûlée, roasted pineapple and mint throughout the palate.
