- Description
- Distilled in 1964 at the height of Bowmore's golden period, this 1979 Bicentenary bottling represents a benchmark vintage for the distillery at 43% ABV. Rich maturation has developed layers of smoke, heather honey, and dried fruit, with the spirit's tropical character well-integrated after 15 years in oak. The palate is full and complex, revealing the depth that older Bowmores achieve with time. A landmark bottling that captures Bowmore's finest era.
