- Description
- Distilled in 1969 and bottled at cask strength in 1979 for Bowmore's bicentenary, this Italian market release arrives in an unusual square bottle as a time capsule of early bottling practices. At 56.2% abv, it delivers unfiltered intensity—peat smoke, maritime brine, and the oak character of a cask that's been working for over a decade. The finish is dry and persistent, a whisky of its era. For collectors of rare and historically significant bottles.
