- Description
- Bowmore's 2001 Blair Castle Horse Trials bottling is a commemorative release honouring Scotland's equestrian heritage, part of the distillery's tradition of limited sporting editions. Bottled at standard strength and chill-filtered, it represents Bowmore's core Islay character: balanced peat, maritime influence, and vanilla-tinged sweetness from ex-bourbon maturation. The special release context adds collectible appeal without diverging from Bowmore's established house style. A cultural curiosity suited to Islay enthusiasts and those collecting Bowmore's limited expressions.
