#journorequests here's a callout to wine brands and wine PRs. I am keen to hear views on which closure types are the most effective and sustainable choices for wineries, whether it be natural cork, screwcap, glass, synthetic, etc. #wine #packaging #drinks

@DestrooperJules hi there, I am looking for a media contact at the company. Can you help?

[Joe Bates @joewb69]

What a treat it’s been to try such a varied range. All excellent in my book but the 27yo was my favourite. Absolutely stunning! Many thanks @TheWhiskyWire @bowmore #BowmoreTimeless

[Joe Bates @joewb69]

31yo is a very different beast to the 27yo, very polished and delicate with citrus notes to the fore. So bright and fresh for a dram this old #BowmoreTimeless

[Joe Bates @joewb69]

31yo: amazing light, delicate, almost floral nose for a whisky this old, some lemon barley notes there too #BowmoreTimeless

[Joe Bates @joewb69]

27yo: very complex, initially sweet with Xmas cake, orange peel and then the spices notes take over. Light peat in the background. One to savour!
