Bowmore No Corners to Hide captures the distillery's past and the legends which define it – via two expressions, this 23-Year-Old bottling and a 32-Year-Old, creating the first chapter of the Frank Quitely Series. A collaboration between the acclaimed graphic artist and Bowmore’s Master Blender this bottling pays homage to a legend, the Devil which has shaped the village of Bowmore. After the initial maturation in American oak hogsheads the liquid continued its journey into Essencia® barriques, a rare ‘Rose Oak’ dating back to the 1830s, to bring an exceptionally deep, powerful and distinctive character to the fore.
Aroma of incense, beeswax and a struck match transport the senses to Bowmore’s round church. The unmistakable notes of Bowmore’s subtle peat smoke, brine and oak linger on the finish, tempting the soul. (Tasting Notes from the Producer)
