Bowmore 18-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

"Inspired by the seldom-seen Harpy – a winged beast said to inhabit Islay – this legendary edition is a first for the Distillery. The Harpy's Tale has been matured for 13 years in rare Sauternes wine casks and married with classic Ardbeg ex-bourbon. After over a decade in the cask, soaring smoke swoops into sweetness as Ardbeg's unmistakable character wrangles with the richness of the Sauternes casks. A supreme aged expression… the taste almost as sensational as the tale…" —producer

"In the vast wilderness of our island home, it’s easy to lose track of time. But if you stop a moment in that beautiful wilderness and take in the silence, eventually you’ll notice the rhythm of the tide bringing you back. Like the whisky in our casks, it’s an irresistible reminder of time’s power. Matured in American white oak ex bourbon barrels, this whisky is then finished in hand-selected virgin American white oak casks, giving it a sweet, fruity and nutty flavour. This truly special whisky is available worldwide." —producer

"The Balvenie French Oak 16 Year Old single malt Scotch whisky is a vibrant, refreshing expression with warm honey notes that is finished in casks that previously held wine from the French Charentes vineyards. The Balvenie French Oak is first aged 16 years in American oak casks that bring an abundance of vanilla spice and warm honey notes before being finished in Pineau casks that create notes of energizing grapefruit, geranium, glazed fruit and ginger. Best enjoyed neat, on the rocks or with a splash of water to expand the flavor." —producer

"Over the course of 18 years our Master Distiller, Alan Winchester, takes this expression through a combination of cask types, including both first and second-fill American oak (for tropical fruitiness) and ex-sherry oak (for spicy complexity). The result of this deft navigation of the distilling arts is a gorgeous single malt that is complex, yet elegant and balanced. The 18 Year Old has won more awards than any other expression; every bottle is a true example of the quality and taste of The Glenlivet. Any bottle deserves pride of place in your cabinet… perhaps to be held back for a fitting occasion? It is, after all, crafted to impress." —producer

"A truly exceptional single malt, the result of whisky-making craft and knowledge passed down through the generations. We marry our 18 year old in small batches of no more than 150 casks. Every batch is individually numbered and carefully watched over. Each has extraordinary consistency and character from an intense marrying period, and a warming, distinguished finish." —producer

"The world of fine whisky meets the world of artisanal coffee in this second edition of The Harmony Collection. A limited annual release series, the incredible flavor profile is inspired by the intense Ethiopian Arabica coffee bean and reveals a robust and beautifully balanced tasting experience. This unique and distinct expression is presented in an elegant, sustainable box crafted from leftover coffee bean husks making it the perfect gift for coffee and whisky lovers alike." —producer

"The Macallan Double Cask 15 Years Old is a balanced single malt whisky created by bringing the perfect harmony of two oaks into one exceptional single malt whisky. Sherry seasoned American oak adds delicate notes of vanilla to the subtle spice of European oak, delivering a whisky with a sweeter, warmer taste and character. Two distinct oaks create the perfect harmony within one exceptional single malt whisky. The Macallan Double Cask whiskies are aged in two types of oak, in specially selected hand-crafted casks seasoned with dry Oloroso sherry. American oak imparts delicate flavours of vanilla, citrus and butterscotch. European oak delivers the unmistakable subtle spice of The Macallan. Once mature for a minimum of 15 years, these two exceptional whiskies unite to create a distinctive single malt with a sweeter, warmer taste and character. Enjoy it neat, over ice or in a serve." —producer

"The high ratio of first-fill sherry seasoned European and American oak casks selected to create our 18 Year Old give it a unique flavour profile of bursting overripe cherries, bitter dark chocolate, sweet marzipan, floral heather honey, and aromatic peat smoke." —producer
