Bowmore, The Changeling 33 Year Old
Limited to 667 bottles, the 33-year-old Bowmore undergoes a dramatic evolution. Matured mainly in American oak hogsheads and finished for 18 months in Tawny port casks, it develops intense flavors of dark fruits, Christmas spice, and enhanced iodine and sea salt character. Designed to reflect the transformative powers of the Islay legend it honors, this expression is a bold, richly layered interpretation of Bowmore’s classic maritime style. Frank Quitely’s striking artwork completes the presentation, making it as much a collector’s piece as a whisky.

Wildflowers, peaches and plums drive the nose with a soft grassy edge. Port influence is obvious from the simmered fig character. The palate follows through with figs and light smoke. The finish stays fruity with warm peat, brine and gentle oak.
