American Oak ex-bourbon hogsheads

This is the second release in the Bowmore Distilleries The Distiller's Anthology annual series.

       
   

The selection of first fill American Oak ex-bourbon hogsheads, exceptionally matured for 25 years, results in a whisky led by sweetness and fruit, but still very much Bowmore in style.

Our distillation process is a constant in the creation of each drop, producing a new make spirit which is the very bedrock of our definitive character. When filled in the very best casks and laid down to rest in our coastal warehouses, we allow this spirit to thrive and become it’s own distinctive Bowmore, calling on the classic style but with it’s own unique story and character.

This whisky tells it’s own story through the aromas, flavour and finish – as the perfect culmination of distillation and maturing coming together.

21 Years Old - Bottled 2021 - 48.4%

       
    Chateau Lagrange
Aged 21 Years

French Oak Barrique

n/a bottles released in 2021

The 21 year old Château Lagrange is an exceptional bottling which combines Islay’s original single malt whisky with the flavours of red wine-infused French oak to create a distinguished dram.

       
   

Like all Bowmore whiskies, Bowmore 21 year old Château Lagrange has been handcrafted using time-honoured techniques used by the distillery since 1779. The malt is still hand-turned, day and night, on the malting floor.

It is smoked over Bowmore’s peat fire, which is personally tended by the malt man for 18 hours. The distillery is home to the iconic maturation warehouse, the No.1 Vaults, which have held some of the world’s most coveted and collectible Scotch whiskies to date. 

It is aged for just over two decades and fully matured in French Oak barriques sourced from the renowned Château Lagrange, a Grand Cru Classé winery in Bordeaux. This expression is said to be perfectly balanced with undertones of dark chocolate, spice, manuka honey and light peat smoke.
