Bowmore Vintage 1997 Distillery Manager’s Selection Distillery Exclusive

From the oldest distillery on Islay, Bowmore’s 1997 Manager’s Selection embodies the magic of its Lochindaal origins, a landscape steeped in Scottish folklore. This exclusive expression, matured for over two decades, draws character from first-fill Oloroso Sherry hogsheads, imparting a rich and heavily sherried profile. Bottled in 2019 at a robust 51.7% ABV, it offers a complex taste experience reflecting Bowmore’s traditional floor maltings – still contributing to a third of each mash. A testament to both heritage and innovation, this whisky showcases the distillery’s commitment to quality and the unique spirit of Islay.
