- Description
- Bowmore's 1968 vintage, cask #1422, represents three decades of maturation in Islay's maritime climate, bottled at 46% by Signatory in 2000. The extended aging has concentrated the distillery's characteristic peaty character with layers of sea salt, heather smoke, and dark fruit complexity. The texture is rich and warming, with a lingering finish of iodine and coastal brine. A collector's expression suited to contemplative drinking and a window into Bowmore's pre-1980s house style.
