Bowmore – 25 Year Old 1996 The Distiller’s Anthology 2022 #01

From the oldest distillery on Islay, Bowmore’s 1996 25 Year Old is a testament to over two centuries of whisky-making tradition. Established in 1779 on the shores of Loch Indaal, Bowmore still utilizes local barley and its own floor maltings, contributing to a uniquely Islay character. This expression, the first in “The Distiller’s Anthology” series, celebrates current manager David Turner and his influence, prominently featuring the rich impact of Oloroso sherry cask maturation. Expect a complex profile of sweet, spicy fruits, unfolding at a robust 50.2% ABV, from this limited release of just 3516 bottles.
