The Changeling is a unique and captivating release from the Bowmore distillery, masterfully crafted by artist Frank Quitely and Bowmore's master blender Ron Welsh. This whisky is part of the Frank Quitely collection, a series that seeks to weave the rich myths and legends of Islay, the home of Bowmore, into its expressions.
Comprising two single malt whiskies aged for 22 and 33 years, The Changeling draws inspiration from the island's folkloric tales. The collection's name is rooted in the story of a blacksmith who courageously saved his son from the clutches of the 'Fairy Folk' on Islay, who had replaced the boy with a changeling. This narrative has been beautifully interpreted through the whisky's creation.
The Changeling 22 Years Old has been carefully matured in American oak hogsheads and then finished for approximately two years in white port casks. This combination of aging vessels results in a whisky that offers a harmonious blend of flavors and aromas. The influence of the white port casks imparts a unique character to the spirit, enhancing its complexity and adding layers of depth to the overall profile.
This limited release not only offers a rare tasting experience but also invites enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the enchanting tales of Islay. The Changeling serves as a fine example of how whisky can capture the essence of folklore and tradition, making it not just a drink, but a storytelling medium that connects us to the history and myths of the land.
