Description

This annual release 30-year-old was introduced in 2020 and was the first age statement of its kind to feature in the Bowmore core range since the sought-after "Sea Dragon" decanters of the 1990s. Distilled in 1989, this rare single malt whisky has been carefully nurtured for three decades in Bowmore's finest Sherry hogsheads and Bourbon barrels. Bottled at a cask strength of 45.3% ABV, this 30-Year-Old is a celebration of Bowmore's rich fruity and subtly smoky style. Only 2,580 bottles were available globally for the 2020 release. The bottle and box take cues from the detailed markings on driftwood and the refined polish of sea glass, reflecting its eternal connection with Islay.
