Description
This 1965 vintage bottled in the 1980s for the Italian market represents Bowmore from the post-Morrison era, when the distillery was modernising its approach. Matured entirely in sherry casks over 15+ years, it captures a snapshot of how the distillery's character evolved mid-century. Without current tasting notes, the age and sherry maturation suggest deep colour, dried fruit, and wood spice balanced against Islay's inherent peat. A historical artefact as much as a drinking whisky, suited to collectors valuing provenance and era.
