Nose | Fruity cooked plums and prune jam. Corinth raisins and sultana notes with a strong Oloroso influence. Toffee and maple syrup, liquorice, grilled orange peel and smoked seaweed. |
Palate | Tobacco, rich cocoa and the warming Islay peat smoke |
Finish | The finish is long with scented burnt wood notes, dry fruits and a touch of frankincense. |
A whisky definitely shaped by time, the Bowmore Timeless 27 Year Old has been meticulously matured in sherry and bourbon casks for 15 years. Then, it was carefully moved to first-fill Oloroso butts to age for a further 12 years, only to be relased once at its best and considered a worthy legacy. This expression is bottled at cask strength (52.7% ABV).
