Bowmore 33 Years Old
Timeless Series
Lot #1350944
From Bowmore Distillery on Islay, this 33-year-old single malt is one of the releases from the Timeless Series.
This exquisite whisky is crafted from a combination of both ex-bourbon and sherry casks, including Matusalem sherry-seasoned European oak butts and second-fill European oak Oloroso sherry butts. Initially launched as a travel retail exclusive, meaning it was only available in airports, with just 3,000 bottles ever produced.
This intricate whisky was created in collaboration with acclaimed pianist, singer, and composer Hania Rani, who draws inspiration from Islay’s unique landscapes. Her connection to the distillery led to the composition of the song called ‘The Boat’, with sounds recorded in natural locations, after her visit to Islay earlier this year. Her artistic influence complements Bowmore's Timeless Series, capturing the complexity of the whisky in music. Immersed in Bowmore’s world, Hania was captivated by the spirit crafted over centuries, inspiring her to reimagine the sensorial experience in every glass. You can listen to the song here.
Bowmore
If we go by official dates, Bowmore is Islay’s oldest distillery in operation today, kicking off in 1779. Set in a spectacular location, along the coastline from the village of the same name. Bowmore had a mighty reputation founded on some classic whiskies from the 1960s. These have been released in a series of special editions and thankfully the current distillate is excellent. Somehow, Bowmore mixes the peat of Islay with a coastal vibe that is underpinned by a wonderful fruitiness. Shrouded in history, it also arguably has Scotland’s most famous and atmospheric warehouse in the Vault No.1. Stepping into this and walking through the maturing casks, while the ocean crashes against the outer wall, is well worth the price of admission.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I bid on the auctions?
You’ll need an account with us to place bids in any auction. Registration takes 60 seconds and there’s a small £5.00 registration fee, payable by credit or debit card. Once paid, you will be registered and can place bids in the auction immediately. The registration fee helps us ensure you’re a real person and a genuine bidder.
Why does the timer extend on a lot?
In the interest of fairness, any bids placed in the final five minutes of a particular lot will extend the end time of that Lot by 15 minutes. We believe in giving our customers a fair amount of time to increase their bid should they wish. Last second sniping isn’t in the spirit of our auctions and by using this system there is no benefit to doing so.
