- Description
- Matured for 29 years in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks at cask strength, this Timeless Series bottling shows how extended aging adds complexity to Islay whisky. The nose reveals sherry-soaked raisin, orange peel, and cherry blossom, while the palate layers peat smoke with dried fruit, milk chocolate, and sea salt. The higher proof brings intensity and textural grip without harshness. A collector's piece for those who appreciate how time reshapes Bowmore's smoke and fruit.
