Bowmore Arc 52 Year Old

Islay’s oldest working distillery, Bowmore was established in 1779 and is now regarded as one of the most popular malts not only on Islay, but in the whole of Scotland. The distillery was acquired by Stanley P. Morrison in 1963, ushering in an era of iconic single malts, including the legendary Black Bowmore, credited by many as the genesis of whisky collecting, bottled in 1995. The distillery was bought under the control Suntory the year prior (they had been stakeholders since 1989), and it remains one of the most collectible brands in Scotch whisky today. Bowmore is one of the few remaining Scottish distilleries to use its own floor maltings, providing them with 40% of their requirements.

The unique microclimate of the No.1 Vaults warehouse at Bowmore distillery means casks share very little with the angels, and has allowed the distillery to bottle some spectacular age-statements over the years. These early Morrison Bowmore era vintages are considered classics.

Presented in a numbered Bowmore x Aston Martin decanter, this whisky was matured for an extraordinary 52 years. It is a marriage of a single Sherry butt and a single American oak ex-Bourbon hogshead.

The decanter is presented in a display box and outer hardcase, which includes a book and magnetic key to assist with removing the lid of the decanter.

One of only 100 decanters.

Please note- due to the size and weight of this bottle and outer box, this lot will incur a fifteen bottle shipping fee.
