- Description
- This rare 1966 Bowmore represents the distillery's celebrated golden era, aged 38 years in a single cask and bottled by Duncan Taylor at natural strength. The palate reveals the period's hallmark: vivid tropical fruit—mango, pineapple, and passion fruit—woven together with balanced peat smoke and maritime notes. The texture is velvety, the finish long and complex. A collector's piece that demonstrates Bowmore's potential for elegant maturation.
