- Description
- Black Bowmore's second 1964 release represents an extraordinary example of Oloroso cask aging, one of only 2,000 bottles bottled at 50% ABV in the mid-1990s. An almost unfathomable concentration of flavour balances fruit, peat, and power in perfect equilibrium, delivering a whisky of singular intensity and complexity. This is a collector's dram and a benchmark for how sherry cask influence can elevate Islay character.
