Bowmore 32 Year Old No Corners To Hide / Frank Quitely

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 47.3%

Titled No Corners To Hide, this is the first collaboration between Bowmore and graphic artist Frank Quitely.

Islay’s oldest working distillery, Bowmore was established in 1779 and is now regarded as one of the most popular malts not only on Islay, but in the whole of Scotland. The distillery was acquired by Stanley P. Morrison in 1963, ushering in an era of iconic single malts, including the legendary Black Bowmore, credited by many as the genesis of whisky collecting, bottled in 1993. The distillery was bought under the control Suntory the year after (they had been stakeholders since 1989), and it remains one of the most collectible brands in Scotch whisky today. Bowmore is one of the few remaining Scottish distilleries to use its own floor maltings, providing them with 40% of their requirements.

Frank Quitely (real name Vincent Patrick Deighan) is a Scottish comic book artist who studied as the Glasgow School of Art and has drawn for the likes of Marvel and DC Comics.

The whisky has been matured initially in American oak hogsheads then in Essencia barriques, a rare ‘Rose Oak’ dating back to the 1830s.

Smartly presented, the bottle includes an original signed print by Frank Quitely.
