Established in 1779, the Bowmore distillery is the oldest distillery on the Isle of Islay. Approximately 30% of the barley used is malted on-site. Its legendary warehouse no. 1 is below sea level and one of the oldest warehouses in Scotland. The Bowmores of the 60s and 70s quite rightly enjoyed huge renown amongst enthusiasts around the world. Distilled on 21 June 1972, this version is a perfect example of this era’s exuberant and flamboyant style, with incredibly complex fruit, supremely elegant peat and simply wild charm.
