Bowmore – 18 Year Old Feis Ile 2020 (70cl, 51.2%)

Bowmore – 18 Year Old Feis Ile 2020 is a whisky from Bowmore (Islay). Aged 18 years, bottled at 51.2% ABV, 70cl. Surely there are few locations more evocative than the shores of Lochindaal, an area positively steeped in rich Scottish folklore. It’s no wonder then that Bowmore has a whiff of magic about it (or perhaps that’s just the whisky). The oldest distillery on Islay, Bowmore still retains its own floor maltings; and while they can no longer meet all of the busy distillery’s requirements, they still contribute a third of the malt used in every mash. Just because something is old, doesn’t mean it’s old-fashioned, and Bowmore’s eco-friendly heat recovery system not only cuts down on those pesky bills, it also heats the town swimming pool! This incredible Bowmore was bottled for the Feis 2020 The Islay Festival of Malt and Music. It takes place in the last week of May each year and with nine distilleries on the island, it is always an unmissable week for whisky enthusiasts around the world. This bottle was in fact released in 2021 due to a certain pandemic delaying the festival in person although virtual events kept the spirit of the festival alive amongst whisky lovers.
