Bowmore 1969/2021 - 50 Years

Special features: This extraordinary single malt whisky was distilled in 1969 and matured for over five decades in a combination of American oak barrels and Spanish oak barrels that previously contained Oloroso sherry. The bottling took place in 2021 at cask strength, with the whisky neither chill-filtered nor colored. With only 339 bottles filled, this 50-year-old Bowmore is a true rarity and a masterpiece of distilling art.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: A bouquet of freesias, dried geraniums, and lily of the valley, accompanied by aromas of Chablis, citrus fruits, and gooseberries, followed by sweet notes of acacia honey.
• Palate: Initially dry and floral with notes of cloves that develop into sweeter aromas of lemon meringue, roasted almonds, and light caramel cream.
• Finish: Slightly sweet and warm with subtle floral notes and malty aromas.

Distillery/Bottler: The Bowmore Distillery, founded in 1779, is one of the oldest still-active distilleries in Scotland and is located on the idyllic Isle of Islay. It is known for its masterful combination of peat smoke and maritime aromas, which give its whiskies a distinctive depth.
