- Description
- Bowmore's legendary 1960s production years shine through in this 1966 vintage, aged 35 years and bottled by Douglas Laing at 44%. The tropical fruit character the distillery was famous for in that decade combines with measured peat smoke and maritime notes, all softened by three-and-a-half decades in wood. A definitive example of how Bowmore evolved during whisky's golden age.
