- Description
- A no-age-statement Bowmore De Luxe from the 1970s bottling era, this litre represents an earlier house style before contemporary distillery releases became standardised. At 43% abv, the character is approachable—smoke, honey, and subtle fruit notes without the intensity of modern cask-strength expressions. The palate is soft and digestible, reflecting gentler blending practices of the period. A historical curiosity for those interested in how Bowmore evolved.
