Bowmore 40-year-old is inspired by time and the sea front location of the Distillery. The colors and textures of Islay s ancient stone and bleached driftwood are encompassed within this limited release deep mahogany Whisky bottled at a cask strength of 48.7% (97.4 proof). Upon pouring, a rich bouquet of honey, treacle, and exotic fruits combined with bees wax and caramel caress the nose, followed by a complex palate of pipe tobacco, chocolate, spices, leather, chestnuts, and pralines.
