One of just 201 bottles released worldwide, the Bowmore 40 Year Old 2023 Release is a whisky of extraordinary rarity and pedigree, forming part of the distillery's Ultimate Rare Collection. Established in 1779 on the shores of Loch Indaal on Islay, Bowmore is among the oldest distilleries in Scotland, and this 40 Year Old represents the very pinnacle of what four decades of patient maturation in exceptional casks can produce.

The result is a spirit of profound depth and concentration — deeply coloured, richly layered and shaped by the full weight of 40 years' cask influence, all underpinned by Bowmore's characteristic whisper of Islay peat.
