No.2 is inspired by the fragrant
notes of Eastern Asia displaying
citrus, spice and sweet and
creamy aromatics.
Distilled in 1988, hand selected
parcels of 1st fill ex-bourbon
hogsheads have unlocked
the tastes of charred lime,
lemongrass and grapefruit,
the scent of sandalwood and
the flavour of caramelised
mango and toffee apple.

Chateau
Lagrange
Aged 21 Years
French Oak Barrique
n/a bottles released in
2021
The 21 year old Château Lagrange is an
exceptional bottling which combines Islay’s
original single malt whisky with the flavours
of red wine-infused French oak to create a
distinguished dram. |
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Like all Bowmore whiskies, Bowmore 21 year
old
Château Lagrange has been handcrafted using
time-honoured techniques used by the distillery
since 1779. The malt is still hand-turned, day
and night, on the malting floor.
It is smoked over Bowmore’s peat fire, which is
personally tended by the malt man for 18 hours.
The distillery is home to the iconic maturation
warehouse, the No.1 Vaults, which have held
some of the world’s most coveted and
collectible Scotch whiskies to date.
It is aged for just over two decades and fully
matured in French Oak barriques sourced from
the renowned Château Lagrange, a Grand Cru
Classé winery in Bordeaux. This expression is
said to be perfectly balanced with undertones
of dark chocolate, spice, manuka honey and
light peat smoke. |

Dragon
Edition is the first in a
series of four whiskies being released
in honour of the ‘Four Guardians’ that
feature in Chinese
mythology:
the Azure Dragon of the East,
the Vermilion Bird of the South,
the White Tiger of the West,
and the Black Turtle of the North
(also
called Black Warrior).
|
| |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
The
Dragon Edition
has been created from the
same parcel of casks used for the Bowmore
30 Year Old Sea Dragon released in a ceramic
bottle in the
1990s, as well as two later editions
bottled in glass in 2006
and 2012.
Containing some
much-revered Bowmore
single malt distilled in the 1960s, the now
rare
expressions have become regarded as
classic examples of the
Islay distillery’s
character at the time.
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
David Turner, Bowmore
distillery manager, said:
"This
new expression is a homage to the 30 Year
Old Sea Dragon that’s
been much loved and
collected by Bowmore fans across China.
We’ve
taken this amazing legacy and renewed
it for the next generation
of whisky drinkers." |

A rare
and elusive beast
The first of a series of
four, the 36-Year-Old whisky has been specially selected from
the same parcel of sherry casks used to create the iconic
Bowmore 30-Year-Old Sea Dragon, exclusively released to Asia in
2012.
Born and shaped by
time, the mythical dragon featured on the bottling ensures
balance in everything – just like Bowmore’s master distiller.
With only 888 bottles available, matched with the pedigree of
the iconic 30-Year-Old Sea Dragon, this incredible expression is
highly prized and sought after from whisky enthusiasts across
the world. |

A rare and
elusive beast
Bowmore® has a proud and
rich history of producing exclusive expressions for the Asian
markets.
Bowmore
Phoenix Edition is the second in
our annual series celebrating this tradition by showcasing the
Bowmore kanji symbol on our packaging. Born on Islay, an island
steeped in heritage and legend, we pay homage to our origins
through the story of the Phoenix. A symbol of virtue and grace,
the rare appearance of the Phoenix foretells harmony for the
people – just as we seek harmony and balance in this rare
37-year-old spirit.
This expression has
been crafted from a parcel of second-fill sherry casks hand
selected and watched over for more than three decades. The
whisky was then transferred into seasoned first-fill sherry
casks for a finish of two to three years. |
