Bowmore 1969 Bourbon and Sherry Cask 50 Year Old 75cl / US Import

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 1993. The distillery was bought under the control Suntory the year after 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.

Debuting in 2018, this is the 2022 and final edition of Bowmore's Vaults series. This vintage joins the 1965, 1966 and 1964, which complete the collection. The spirit for this release was distilled in 1969 and matured in a combination of bourbon casks and Spanish oak Oloroso sherry casks.

As you would expect, the bottle is immaculately presented in a beautifully-crafted display case which includes information regarding the release. It also includes a heavy wooden branded travel case. These bottles were first made available at London Heathrow Airport, followed by other Global Travel retailers across the world.
