The Bowmore 1988 Timeless Series is a 31-year-old single malt from Bowmore Distillery on Islay. Distilled in 1988 and bottled in 2021, this expression is part of the Timeless Series, which showcases Bowmore's enduring whisky crafting approach.
For its maturation, the whisky was initially aged for 29 years in bourbon casks, before undergoing an additional two-year finish in Spanish Oak Matusalem Sherry seasoned butts. This two-step process contributes to its distinct profile.
The whisky's limited production run, with only 3,000 bottles released, underscores its exclusivity and potential appeal to collectors and investors. Its incorporation into the Timeless Series reflects Bowmore's dedication to quality and tradition in whisky production.
