BOWMORE LAUNCH A TRIO OF AGE STATED TRAVEL RETAIL EXCLUSIVES

Beam Suntory has today announced the launch of three new age stated, global travel retail exclusive expressions.

Bowmore 10 Year Old (40% ABV) has been produced using a marriage of whiskies from Spanish oak ex-sherry casks and hogsheads. Bowmore 15 Year Old (43% ABV) was matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks. Bowmore 18 Year Old (43% ABV) has been matured in both oloroso and pedro ximénez sherry casks.

These latest releases are said to be inspired by Bowmore Distillery’s No.1 Vaults, the world’s oldest Scotch maturation warehouse.

Commenting on the new travel retail exclusives, Michael Cockram, Beam Suntory Global Marketing Director Travel Retail, said: “We continue to innovate and find new ways to delight our consumers in travel retail via exceptional product quality and investment in our liquids. We are pleased to present this exceptional new Bowmore range, exclusively to travel retail.”

He went on to say: “Matured in the finest oak casks, these age statement whiskies have been selected for their unique character, allowing us to bring Bowmore’s legendary No.1 Vaults to life for the discerning traveller around the world.”

All three of the new age stated bottlings from the Islay based distillery, will be available through travel retail in April. RRP’s (tbc).
