BOWMORE 1963 30TH ANNIVERSARY

BOWMORE 1963 30TH ANNIVERSARY

Single malt.

Sat on the picturesque shore of Loch Indaal, Bowmore is a distillery steeped in mythology and legend, ranging from tales of Sea Dragons and Devils in churches to, er, seagulls. Making use of Islay’s abundant peat, Bowmore whisky can be smoky and briny, but it distinguishes itself from its contemporaries with notes of tropical fruit and Parma Violets.

Most famous among whisky auction regulars are its outstanding “Black” releases. These 1964 vintage, sherry bombs were available for a snip when they made their debut in the early 1990s, but are now capable of commanding five figure sums at auction.

This limited edition Bowmore was produced to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the distillery's acquisition by Stanley P. Morrison.

Bottle Number: 254

50% ABV / 70cl
