Bowmore 50 Year Single Malt (1961)
Distilled in 1961, this Islay scotch was aged for 50 years in two ex-Bourbon hogshead casks. These smaller casks allowed more of the whisky to have direct contact with the wood, introducing richer influence on the final whisky. In 2013, only 200 bottles of this exquisite single malt remained – and they have been released every year, 50 at a time, until now.
The bottle is hand-blown by Glasstorm, the burr elm display cabinet handcrafted by Peter Toaig and the silver neck stopper and collar fashioned by Thomas Fattorini.
This amazing collector’s item displays aromas and flavors of almonds, coconuts, tree oil, and citrus and tropical fruit with a gentle underlying smoke.
