Detailed Description
A well-aged Bowmore matured in first-fill bourbon casks and originally released in 2017 exclusively in travel retail. Distilled in 1988 and aged for about 30 years, the whisky is quite different to the more usual sherry-cask matured Bowmores of this age, showing elegant maritime notes and flashes of stormy sea.
