- Description
- Distilled in 1963 and aged 30 years before this distillery bottling at 50%, this Bowmore exemplifies what made 1960s production legendary: waves of tropical fruit, medicinal peat smoke, briny funk, and sea spray in harmonious tension. The higher proof captures the full intensity of mature Islay character without astringency. A rare window into mid-20th century Bowmore at its peak.
