Information
Scotland, Isle of Islay. Distillery operational. Owner: Beam - Suntory
Located on the Isle of Islay, in the heart of the village of the same name, in 1963 Bowmore became, under the aegis of Stanley P. Morrison (owner of the distillery until it was bought by the Japanese company Suntory in 1994), one of the greatest commercial successes in the Scotch whisky industry. Vault #1, responsible for some of its greatest releases, including Bowmore 30 Year Old 1963 and Bowmore Bicentenary, played an important role in forging its international reputation. Built below sea level against a natural dyke, its walls and beaten earth floors are constantly steeped in sea spray. Rooted in tradition, Bowmore is one of the last remaining distilleries to malt part of its own barley on-site. Whether matured in bourbon casks (White Bowmore 1964) or sherry casks (Black Bowmore 1964), its spirit, characterized by notes of liquorice, peat and eucalyptus, never fails to reveal the trademark hint of exotic fruit for which the distillery is known.
A Bowmore 10 year old aged entirely in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks. It is named in tribute to a local legend claiming that, because Bowmore’’s Kilarrow Church is round so as to leave no corner in which the devil could hide, he instead took refuge in a cask at the nearest distillery... There’’s nothing to fear though, as angels regularly visit every cask, meaning nothing evil could have taken up residence there!This is the second bottling in a limited edition of 6,000 bottles, bottled in 2014 at 56.3%.
