- Description
- This 1960s Bowmore 18-year-old represents a rare glimpse into the distillery's output from the early bottling era, presented in an unusual pear-shaped bottle. Matured on Islay but predating the heavily peated expressions the distillery became known for, expect the maritime character and subtle smoke typical of that period. For historians and collectors seeking provenance, this bottling documents a specific moment in Bowmore's evolution.
