Bowmore 23 Years Franq Quietly: 1 of 6666

• Region: Islay - Crafted at Bowmore’s historic distillery on the Isle of Islay, this whisky exemplifies the brand’s dedication to creating layered and complex peated expressions, enhanced by its unique story-driven release.

• Maturation: Matured for 23 years in a combination of American oak casks and ex-sherry casks, this limited-edition release delivers depth and richness, inspired by Islay’s maritime environment and Bowmore’s artistry. The “No Corners to Hide” series emphasizes its rare, meticulously crafted character.

• Color: A striking deep amber with golden highlights, reflecting its long maturation and sherry influence.

• Aroma: The nose opens with a sophisticated blend of sweet and savory notes. Peat smoke is present but subtle, mingling with aromas of dark fruits like blackcurrant and plum. Additional hints of orange peel, roasted coffee, and spiced oak create a multi-dimensional bouquet.

• Palate: On the palate, this whisky is luxuriously rich and complex. Waves of gentle peat smoke harmonize with flavors of dark chocolate, treacle, and dried figs. Warm spices such as cinnamon and clove add layers of depth, while a citrus zest undercurrent lifts the profile. The maritime salinity Bowmore is known for subtly emerges, tying the flavors together.

• Finish: Exceptionally long and elegant, the finish lingers with notes of toasted oak, peat, and a touch of caramel sweetness, balanced by the drying warmth of spices and a hint of coastal brine.

• Texture: Velvety and smooth, with a weighty and luxurious mouthfeel that speaks to its extended aging process.

The Bowmore 23 Years Franq Quietly “No Corners to Hide” is a rare and thought-provoking whisky that masterfully combines Bowmore’s hallmark peated style with the richness of sherry cask maturation. Perfect for collectors or as a centerpiece for those who appreciate the art of storytelling in whisky.
