- Description
- Black Bowmore 1964, the first edition of this legendary series, was aged for 29 years in oloroso casks before release as one of only 2000 bottles. The extended maturation in sweet, oxidative wood created a rich, dark spirit with plum, leather, and tobacco notes underpinned by sea-air minerality. At 50% ABV and distilled during Bowmore's pre-1980s golden era, this represents exceptional provenance and rarity. A cornerstone bottle for Islay collectors and those investing in whisky history.
