Bowmore 30 Year Old

This annual release 30-year-old was introduced in 2020 and were the first age statements of their kind to feature in the Bowmore core range since the sought-after "Sea Dragon" decanters of the 1990s.

Bowmore 1989 30 Year Old 2021 Release

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.

This Bowmore was distilled in 1989 and matured for 30 years in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks. The 2021 release was the second release of the newly-revamped 30 year old age-statement.
