- Description
- Aged in a single sherry butt for just under 35 years, this 1970-vintage Bowmore represents the rarer end of the distillery's range. The sherry cask influence has deepened the colour and imparted rich, mature notes of dried stone fruit and wood spice across a complex palate. This is historical whisky—a snapshot of how Bowmore aged in the latter half of the 20th century.
