Bowmore 1995 Maltmen's Selection 13 Year Old / Distillery Shop

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 maltmen at Bowmore hand selected five casks from the distillery vaults to produce this limited edition malt. The vatting consisted of cask numbers 1551, 1552, 1553, 1559 and 1560.​

Distilled on the 13th July 1995 and bottled in 2008.
