- Description
- A rare 1970s-bottled Islay single malt from Bowmore, representing the distillery's character during an era of minimal age-statement releases. Expect the classic Bowmore signature of peat smoke balanced with coastal brininess and subtle sweetness from ex-bourbon maturation. The lack of stated age and vintage bottling make this a collector's piece rather than a benchmark for current production.
