Beam Suntory introduces travel retail-exclusive Bowmore whisky range

Beam Suntory will launch a travel retail-exclusive Bowmore age statement range to global travel retail in April.

The range is inspired by Bowmore distillery’s No.1 Vaults, the world’s oldest Scotch maturation warehouse.

Bowmore 10yo offers an ‘intense’ depth from the marriage of Spanish oak sherry casks and hogsheads, which results in a dark amber liquid. The spirit offers hints of sun-dried fruit, baked Seville orange and toasted maple on the nose before giving way to sultanas, sea salt and dark fruit oils on the palette.

Bowmore 15yo is married in first fill bourbon casks. The golden barley coloured whisky features a refreshing, silken peat smoked character with notes of citrus.

Bowmore 18yo, described as “deep and complex”, is matured in oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The whisky offers flavours of treacle coffee, dates and bittersweet orange peel before evolving to roasted coffee and macademia nuts.

Beam Suntory Global Marketing Director Travel Retail Michael Cockram commented: “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.

“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.”
