Bowmore 25 Year Old 1998 Infrequent Flyers is an elegant and highly collectible Islay single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by the Alistair Walker Whisky Company for their revered Infrequent Flyers series. Distilled in 1998 and matured for a full quarter of a century in a single refill barrel (cask #803728), this remarkable release was bottled in 2024 at a refined 45.8% ABV, with just 280 bottles produced. The long maturation in a refill cask allows Bowmore’s iconic maritime character to take centre stage, subtly shaped by gentle oak influence without overshadowing the distillery’s signature coastal style.
