UK. Morrison Bowmore will launch seven single malt whisky line extensions at October’s TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes.
Exclusive to travel retail and duty free are:
Bowmore Enigma 12yo Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (40% abv): Morrison Bowmore says the whisky features a greater proportion of fresh sherry casks than that normally found in the classic Bowmore. The black packaging, label and bottle design is described as a reversal of Bowmore’s customary white labelling.
Auchentoshan 12yo Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (43% abv): The single malt is currently available in Taiwan only.
Glen Garioch 12yo Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (43% abv): The company says the whisky, available in Taiwan only, “showcases this small Highland distillery at its best”.
Also to be launched in Cannes are four vintage limited-edition labels:
Bowmore 1971 34yo Islay Single Malt (51% abv): Only 960 bottles of the whisky spirit, matured in sherry casks, will be available.
Auchentoshan 1973 32yo Old Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (55.5% abv): A premium offering from the Lowlands, matured in sherry casks. Limited to only 480 bottles.
Bowmore Islay Single Malt 1989 16yo Non Chill Filtered Bowmore Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (51.8% abv): The Bowmore 1989 16yo, “for those who appreciate fine whisky at its best”, is claimed to be the first of its type ever released. Matured at natural cask strength.
Lowland Single Malt 17yo Old Bordeaux Wine Finished Lowland Single Malt (51.% abv): Described as the first ever wine-finished Auchentoshan Lowland Single Malt, the spirit is matured first in American bourbon barrels, and then for eight years in Grand Cru wine casks.
Morrison Bowmore Distillers Director of Duty Free Fergus Hartley said: “This is an exciting chapter in the long history of Bowmore. We are releasing some of our most innovative whiskies to date, and significantly expanding our duty free exclusive range as well. It is therefore entirely fitting that these spirits are launched for global duty free at Cannes, among the world’s most renowned luxury brands.”
