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. |

Tasting notes
Bowmore 1988 Vintage Edition
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.

Tasting notes
Breathe In: Some antiseptic notes contrast against
sweet fudge, butterscotch and blueberry syrup
alongside seaweed and lavender fragrance.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.
Savour: Floral with lavender, heather notes and
a light mineral character.

Dragon Edition

Old
Distilled 1983 - Bottled 2019
888 bottles
released in 2019
Exclusively made available at
Whisky L Shanghai (10-12
August, 2019)
and through selected retailers in China.
Matured
exclusively in ex-Sherry casks, the
whisky is said to have
aromas of ‘tropical fruit,
toffee apple and caramelised orange’,
with
notes of ‘dried fruits roasted coffee beans
and dark
chocolate’ on the palate. |

|
|
|
 |
|
|
Mythical
status:
Bowmore Dragon Edition pays tribute
to the distillery’s
Sea Dragon malts.Bowmore
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." |
