The final rediscovered cask of Black Bowmore, distilled on 5th November 1964 and matured for over 50 years in a cool, dark corner of Bowmore's famous No.1 vaults. Originally filled into two first-fill Oloroso Sherry hogsheads (casks 3708 & 3714), the distillery then married them within just one of these casks before subsequently losing track of it! ...until now!
Following four previous legendary Bowmore Black whiskies, released between 1993 and 2007, this final chapter in the story comes in appropriately grand packaging. Inside you'll find a series of rings (of the kind you'd find within a tree) that denote the time that's passed since 1964, adding to the sense of history. Just 159 bottles were made available globally.
The senses are awakened to the deep aromas of soft, sweet, exotic fruits, complemented perfectly by Bowmore’s renowned gentle peat smoke.
After 50 years maturing in Bowmore’s legendary No.1 Vaults, Black Bowmore 50 Year Old, The Last Cask To Be Rediscovered has developed a sublime elegance on the palate to reveal notes of tropical fruit including mango, papaya and pineapple as well as honeyed black truffle.
A long, lingering mouth-feel carried by notes of Bowmore’s native Islay seabreeze.
