Bowmore 2000 17 Years 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry Cask No. 2488 26th Hand-Filled Edition Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Cask Strength 58.1% Vol. - one of only 489 bottles from the limited Bowmore Hand-Filled Edition!
This rare vintage 2000 17 year old hand-filled Limited Edition Bowmore Islay Single Malt Scotch whisky was distilled on 6th November 2000 and, after more than 17 years of maturation in a 1st fill Oloroso sherry cask with the cask no. 2488 from the no.1 vaults, was bottled on 19th September 2018 at natural cask strength 57.1% vol. in an edition of only 489 (unconfirmed!) bottles and was not officially available in the trade.
Every part of the whisky was finished by hand and distilled in 2000 : the barley was malted, hand turned and tradionally peat kiln dried at the distillery. After distillation at 6. November 2000, the spirit spent more than 17 years slowly maturing in a 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry cask before finally for a small number of visitors could be filled by hand from the barrel at 19. September 2018. This is a Bowmore in its natural form, of the barley, and its maturation in the bottle. The result is a Bowmore with a dark mahogany color. A Bowmore Islay whisky with great body that is reminiscent of old times and can compete with the legendary bottlings from the 1960s and 1970s or a Seadragon.
Due to the small number of bottles from the Bowmore hand-filled rdition, this special Bowmore Islay single malt Scotch whisky is rarely found and is already one of the most sought-after bottlings among connoisseurs, whisky collectors and lovers of exceptional and old Scotch whiskies
