Inspired by the most intriguing myths and legends from the remote island of 
Islay, each bottle in the collaboration features exclusive designs and artwork 
from Frank Quitely. The illustrations showcase Islay's far-reaching history and 
rich stories of a bygone era and embody the artistic expression of Bowmore's 
style.

The limited-edition series features two stunning single malts, 23-Year-Old and 
32-Year-Old, which are exclusively available in select Global Travel Retail 
outlets including Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Vienna, Dubai, Singapore and 
Taiwan.

The exceptional 23-Year-Old captures a whisky character inspired by the 
legendary story of No Corners to Hide. The spirit was nurtured in ex-bourbon 
American oak hogsheads to create the signature Bowmore style. Two years of 
further maturation followed in Essencia(R) barriques to create a powerful 
character conjuring up a sensory exploration of this mythical tale. It captures 
a hint of beeswax, a scent of incense and a struck match to transport the 
senses to Bowmore's round church. Each bottle is decorated with illustrations 
and sketches from Frank Quitely.

The 32-Year-Old captures a moment in time; a story as captivating as the myth 
it celebrates. An initial 30 years of maturation in ex-bourbon American oak 
hogsheads reflects a timely occupation in cask, much like the devil's own 
alleged escape. This was followed by two further years in Essencia(R) barriques 
to bring an unusually distinctive character to the fore, again combining 
beeswax, incense and struck match. 

Evolving to Seville orange peel merged with the aromas of an old cigar box, but 
with sweet and floral interjections and finishing with a touch of liquorice and 
iodine, the 32-Year-Old is intriguing and ingenious in equal measure. Each 
bottle comes complete with a signed print from Frank Quitely, alongside 
original sketches and notes from the whisky making process.

Manuel Gonzalez, Marketing Director GTR for Beam Suntory, said: "Bowmore has a 
rich history filled with myths and legends, and we're delighted to partner with 
the award-winning Frank Quitely to bring these tales to life. Possessing a 
proven track record of producing collectible artwork with both Marvel and DC, 
the Frank Quitely Collection is our latest exciting collaboration to offer 
luxury limited-editions to our customers."
