1975 Vintage Whisky

Whisky in the Age of Technological Revolution

In 1975, the world was introduced to Microsoft, while the Vietnam War officially ended.

In the whisky industry, the adoption of modern technology became more widespread. Computerized systems were increasingly employed to control fermentation and distillation processes, ensuring greater consistency and efficiency.
Bowmore released its now-legendary Black Bowmore, a highly sought-after expression aged in sherry casks. This release has become one of the most valuable whiskies ever sold at auctions, highlighting the growing investment potential in the whisky market. Distilleries also experimented with varying peat levels, leading to whiskies with a wide range of smoky characteristics. For collectors, whisky from 1975 captures an industry at the crossroads of tradition and technology, during a year of significant geopolitical changes.
