Whiskymaker's note:
A sensational limited edition 37 year old Islay single malt that was produced at the Bowmore distillery in 1968 and bottled in 2006 for the distillery's Vintage Distillation series. Bottled at a natural cask strength 43.4% ABV, this highly sought after Bourbon matured gem is one of just 708 bottles that scored a whopping 92 points with the WhiskyFun critics.

'The Queen of the Hebrides', Islay (pronounced "eye-la") is located just off the west coast of Scotland. Its mild climate and rich peaty soil make it ideal for creating whisky, and despite having a population of not much more than 3,000, it's home to no fewer than eight distilleries.
Bowmore the place and Bowmore the celebrated Single Malt share many claims to fame. The island's administrative capital and crossroads, Bowmore the place was the first planned village in the country, founded in 1768. Just 11 years its junior, the distillery at the community's heart produces the First Islay Malt.
Bowmore's celebrated Single Malt has been distilled on this jewel of an island, the Queen of the Hebrides, ever since 1779. Now, as then, Bowmore is widely acknowledged to be among the finest and most perfectly balanced single malts in the world.
It's Bowmore's unique combination of the purest water from the Laggan River, floor-malted barley that has been carefully smoked in our peat-fired kiln, the finest oak casks left to mature in our No. 1 Vaults, Islay's natural environment and a dedicated team of craftsmen that together create the perfect balance for which Bowmore is known and loved.
