1988 Vintage - 29 Years Old - 47.8%

1988 Vintage Edition
Bottled 2017
Bourbon Cask Matured

Exclusive to the Global Traveller
A well-matured Bowmore single malt,
released originally for the Travel Retail
market. This expression began its life in
1988 and was filled into first-fill bourbon
casks, where it slumbered until 2017.
It still manages holds on to plenty of the
classic Islay smokiness through the long maturation, which is always a wonderful
thing.

Sip: Floral with Parma violet candies and light spices, lilies and hyacinths complementing a light peaty and mineral character. Almond, marzipan and a touch of aniseed also contribute to the overall fragrant character of this Islay dram.
