About this Item
THE ART OF TIME SINCE 1779 - A MASTERPIECE SCULPTED BY TIME
Bowmore is a pioneering house and the oldest licensed distillery on Islay; they have been refining the craft for over 240 years, and still do to this day.
‘The Art of Time’® is central to the way they make their whisky. They invest more time than necessary at every stage of the process. They have their own proprietary malt barns, hand-turning their own barley. They allow for perfectly timed fermentation periods. And they take their time to hand-select their casks, nosing every single one before it is filled with the new make.
This care and attention to detail is what creates the complex balance of not just Smoke, but also rich fruit and sea salt which is so characteristic of their timeless house style. This is the reason why Bowmore ages like no other, the reason why it is the world’s most collectible Islay malt today.
