Part of the single malt Scotch whisky’s ‘Timeless’ series of bottlings, Bowmore 27- and Bowmore 31-year-olds have been unveiled this week. The oldest of the pair, which comprises liquid matured for 29 years in ex-Bourbon casks before being finished in Spanish oak Matusalem Sherry-seasoned butts, will be limited to 3,000 units.

Bowmore Timeless 27-year-old has spent 15 years in Sherry and ex-Bourbon casks, then 12 years on first-fill Oloroso butts. The cask strength single malt, which has an abv of 52.7%, is available in individually-numbered bottles, although further availability details were not disclosed.

Bowmore 31 has an abv of 45.4%.

The two single malts will roll out to GTR outlets in:

  • Singapore
  • Dubai
  • India
  • China
  • South Korea
  • Germany
  • Australia
  • Paris
  • Hong Kong
  • The Nordics

In September, brand owner Beam Suntory promoted internally for a new GM of GTR operations, while also updating its operating model for the channel.
