A limited edition of only 3000 bottles, the special release is part of the Timeless Series which displays a variety of single malt whiskies of exceptional maturation. The Bowmore 27 Year Old was carefully matured for 15 years in former sherry and bourbon casks, further aged for 12 years in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts. Presented in an elegant black case that resembles a classic hourglass. Inside the box, a small hourglass can be found. It takes three minutes for the sand to flow from one end to the other, just about the time it takes the whisky to develop its full aromas. For the premiere of the new Series, French director Thomas Vanz created a film that highlights the power of time through the evolution of whisky.

Founded in 1779 by John P. Simpson. It is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland and first in Islay, located on the southeastern shore of Loch Indaal. The distillery still has its original traditional malting floor and it is known for a variety of styles with a particular touch of peat and smoke. Today the distillery is owned by Suntory and continues producing whiskies of excellent quality.
