- Description
- Bottled in the 1970s at the distillery, this Bowmore showcases the elegant label design of its era with a full-label ship motif that dominated the bottle. The 40% abv suggests a lighter hand with peat compared to modern Bowmore, reflecting distillery practices of the period. A visually striking and historically interesting example of Bowmore's mid-20th century style.
