Bowmore 50-Year-Old Whisky Will Pleasure Your Hedonistic Scotch Needs

Tasting notes from the distillery for this grand old offering indicate a Scotch who’s “hints of black truffles and tropical fruits reveal the full maturity of Bowmore’s warm, smoky spirit. With a warm, honey gold texture, the bursts of ripe fruit intermingled with black truffles and gentle smoke manifest themselves in that first sip, leaving you to savour the evolving finish of almond cake and caramelised pears interwoven with subtle peat oils.”

This 50-year-old, like the $11,000, 40-year-old Bora I wrote about earlier this month, comes in very unique packaging. Each bottle of it is said by Bowmore to be “hand-blown by renowned glass sculpting studio Glasstorm, while the neck collars and cork tops of the bottles have been beautifully made by Fattorini Silversmiths. To complete the piece, the bottle will be housed within handmade cabinets which have been crafted in Scottish Elmwood by master carpenter Peter Toaig.”
