What Makes Bowmore Collectible?
Old and rare bottles of Bowmore are at present the most collectible whiskies from the island of Islay, which is in itself the most famous whisky-producing island, if not region, in Scotland.
Many truly extraordinary vintages of Bowmore have been bottled. For us, the golden era of distillation was before the mid 1970s, with the true gems from Bowmore distilled in the 1950s and 60s. Perhaps the pinnacle of these years, based on what’s been released so far, is 1964, which gave us not only the whisky contained within the famous Black Bowmore series, but also two exceptional trilogies of cask maturation: Bourbon, Fino Sherry and Oloroso Sherry, and Gold, White and Black.
Joining these stellar bottles are not only those created by the distillery itself from other years’ whisky – for example the 1955 Bowmore ceramic decanter bottled in 1974 for the opening of their visitor centre – but also an incredible variety of masterpieces from independent bottlers. Mention Bowmores like the 1966 Samaroli ‘Bouquet’, the 1966 Duncan Taylor 33 Year Old or the 1966 Cadenhead’s 12 Year Old and any collector’s eyes will light up.
The reason that these Bowmore single malts have conquered the hearts of collectors and connoisseurs all around the world is simple: their unique flavour profile. These whiskies have an entrancingly vibrant, one-of-a-kind combination of incredible tropical fruit notes and smoky whispers, which has become an unforgettable trademark and one that is incredibly sought-after.
We love Bowmore, not just these vintage whiskies but also the distillery and its ethos, and have detailed some of its most collectible whiskies below.
